Namya Syal

Community Animator

Amritha Tayalur Jagadeesh

Community Animator

I am a third year chemical engineering student at UofT. Being a part of the ILead student team has given me an opportunity to meet new people and develop my own personal leadership skills. Leadership to me is being confident about who I am and being more self aware about my goals and capabilities. I am also the Alumni Outreach Director for EngSoc this year and enjoy connecting with alumni and managing and leading my executive team. When I’m not studying or involved in Skule, I like hanging out with my friends and trying out new food places downtown.

Aldrin Villamayor

Aldrin is a third year Civil Engineering student. He has a strong interest in sustainable building design, and hopes to one day help develop more sustainable infrastructure in third-world countries around the world. Aldrin strongly believes that the greatest leaders are those who are able to see the needs of their team and meet those needs in order so that the team will be effective and reach its goals. Not only is he passionate about engineering and leadership, Aldrin also loves to take photographs and document his experiences using his camera.

Julien Zhu

Community Animator

Julien is in his second year of Industrial Engineering. His experiences in ILead’s Leadership Labs and in the FIELD summer program provided him with a vision to implement leadership in his own everyday life. To him, leadership begins with an understanding of self, grows through healthy risks and self-reflection, and fosters a profound connection between people, organizations, and communities. From that, he hopes to inspire students to initiate personal visions of leadership themselves. Inasmuch as Julien enjoys working with ILead, he also enjoys building and riding bikes with Bikechain. And on the side, he keeps in touch with the TrackOne community as a mentor and can be found hanging out with friends
