Future of Sustainability
Youth Advocate

Alexandra Deschenes is a curious, thoughtful, and goal-oriented individual. In her leisure time, she immerses herself in the world of literature, indulging in reading and expressing her thoughts through writing. She aims to create impact in the areas of climate change and mental health through her current and future endeavours. 

Among her many interests, Alexandra has developed a particular fondness for playing bridge. Through this card game, she has learned valuable life lessons about risk and success. As an introverted child who prefers staying within her comfort zone, Alexandra discovered the significance of calculated risks in her pursuit of triumph. The quote by George S. Patton, "Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash," deeply resonates with her. While it encourages embracing chances on the path to success, the quote still acknowledges the importance of caution.

Eager to explore further into artificial intelligence, Alexandra engaged in a course that explored the application of AI in facial recognition. Alexandra takes part in international bridge tournaments and showcased her love of the game by founding a bridge club at her school that aims to introduce the game to the younger members of her community. Fluent in Chinese, French, and English, Alexandra hopes to use her linguistic abilities to help her connect to those around her.

With an ambitious vision for her future, combining her insatiable curiosity, strategic thinking, and commitment to personal growth, Alexandra hopes to thrive in her chosen field and leave a lasting mark on the world.
