Alexa Amar
2023 Second-Year Summer Class, Toronto
A naturally curious person, Alexa chose a career in law for the opportunity to work in a profession that supports and encourages lifelong learning.
She looks forward to learning through hands-on experience, particularly in corporate law, where she’ll apply knowledge acquired throughout her education.
What fictional character do you identify most with?
Monica Geller because I also get excited about cleaning and organizing.
Is there an organization that means a lot to you?
Jack.org trains and empowers youth leaders to revolutionize the conversation regarding mental health. Recognizing that a student’s peers are those most likely to spot signs of struggle, Jack.org works to educate students. I am the current president of Western University’s chapter.
Whom do you most admire?
My zaidy. He is a Holocaust survivor and moved to Canada when he was young with very little family and knowing no English. He created a happy family and practised as a successful accountant – all on his own.
