On-the-go, ambitious, and hungry for challenges, I am currently in my third year at John Molson School of Business, pursuing a Major in Marketing and Minor in Management. Aside from being interested in these fields, fashion, travelling and photography are some of my passions. You can catch me reading a GQ magazine at Starbucks, riding a Bixi around Downtown Montreal, on a flight to Paris for the weekend, or on an ad on Youtube.

I am a marketing student with a passion for cupcakes, macarons and figure skating. I believe in an ethical and sustainable business world and I hope to lead a successful career inspired by the following quote: ” The economy doesn’t function with market self-regulation, but needs an ethical rationale to work for mankind. Man must be at the center of the economy, and the economy cannot be measured only by maximization of profit but rather according to the common good”
Lourie Contaoe
VP Marketing
As an International Business and Finance student, it is ironic as to how I hold the position of VP Marketing. Perhaps you could say I am passionate about everything and the world around me. Call me curious, ambitious, an overachiever and in-the-moment kind of girl. I have an insatiable appetite for life!
Cassandra Syms
Director of Marketing
A fascination for marketing. A love for fashion. An intense desire to discover the world. My goal: to pursue a career that will allow me to explore and dive into these three passions. With a Fashion Marketing college diploma in my pocket and a Marketing and International Business bachelor’s degree in completion, I am slowly but surely getting close to pursuing my dream!
Cindu Chandramoorthy
VP Finance
The hardworking accounting student who is always ready to lend a helping hand. While a relatively calm and friendly person by nature, a definite beast on the battlefield – never saying no to any one of life’s challenge. I share a general passion for life, love to laugh and cannot live a day without making a difference.
Agnes Katsouros
VP Corporate Relations
Hi, I’m Agnes! I’m a fourth year student at JMSB (Major: Finance, Minor: Management). Last year, I had the pleasure of joining the CASA Cares family! I approach charity work the same way I do life: boldly and with a sense of fun. It is this innate enjoyment of life and all that it has to offer that propels me forward, aiming to complete new challenges and achieve the best that I possibly can. I am an eternal optimist, travel-enthusiast, event planner, book-worm, picture-addict and aspiring health-nut. I love what I do, and I do what I love. The simple things in life put a smile on my face. I will never pass up a moment to spend time with my family or friends
