Aaron Currie

Charlottetown, PEI 
October 2020

Aaron Currie says his heart “skipped a beat” when he found out he was the lucky recipient of a Sobey National Innovators Scholarship. “Growing up, I was always told by my parents and educators that my hard work would one day pay off [and] would ultimately lead to a better future. I am incredibly honoured to become a member of the very first cohort of Sobey Innovators and look forward to upholding the legacy of the Sobey family throughout my post-secondary journey and beyond.” 

Aaron is working toward a Bachelor of Commerce with a specialization in finance. His dream job? CFO for an NHL team. In the meantime, he keeps busy volunteering in the community. During the lockdown, Aaron worked at his local No Frills, stocking shelves to make sure people had what they needed. He’s fully prepared to make the transition to online classes. “The pandemic has been a challenging time for us all. Luckily, as students our lives have been affected in a miniscule way compared to the lives of healthcare workers and other essential workers.”
