@Enactus_Canada Thanks for having me! All the nostalgic feels #EnactusAlumniChat

[Kaitlyn Touesnard @Kaittouesnard]

@Enactus_Canada @codyd08 @StefanyVie @katiezajner @ForseyWilliam So many! Walking into the World Cup in Malaysia. Spending countless hours working on presentations with the team. Seeing the result of a project and interacting with the community members you're helping. #EnactusAlumniChat

[Kaitlyn Touesnard @Kaittouesnard]

@lesscooltyler @Enactus_Canada Good question! I show my skills by doing good work. I haven't really had to show my skills to employers but I do show my skills to clients, suppliers and event attendees every day. I still refer back to projects I worked on in enactus in proposals I write. #EnactusAlumniChat

[Kaitlyn Touesnard @Kaittouesnard]

@Enactus_Canada @kattyq789 @StefanyVie @katiezajner @ForseyWilliam Think about where the pain points are for the communities you're serving. How can you use the resources you have and the strength of those on your team to help - whether it's through technology or other means. Think creatively. #enactusalumnichat

[Kaitlyn Touesnard @Kaittouesnard]

@Nika_Moeini @Enactus_Canada Absolutely! I work with loads of people today that I met during my time with @enactus_smu! Stay connected because these are strong relationships you're building.

[Kaitlyn Touesnard @Kaittouesnard]

@ForseyWilliam @Enactus_Canada @StefanyVie @katiezajner Agreed!

[Kaitlyn Touesnard @Kaittouesnard]

@Enactus_Canada @ForseyWilliam @StefanyVie @katiezajner Take advantage of every opportunity. Work hard and people will notice. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

[Kaitlyn Touesnard @Kaittouesnard]

@brittweets2 @Enactus_Canada I don't know that I could pick just one! I think having the environment to try things out, seeing what works and what doesn't was invaluable. Feeling the fear but doing it anyway, working hard, and seeing the outcome. Nothing else like it!

[Kaitlyn Touesnard @Kaittouesnard]

@Nika_Moeini @Enactus_Canada Thanks so much!

[Kaitlyn Touesnard @Kaittouesnard]

@Enactus_Canada For economic - I've said it from the beginning, it's not just my goal to put food on the table for myself, but for others as well. I believe that if we build sustainable business, think creatively, and create jobs that we do good for our community.

[Kaitlyn Touesnard @Kaittouesnard]

@Enactus_Canada As far as environmental goes - we've gone paperless wherever we can, using technology and tablets on site for events. We also try to work with environmentally conscious suppliers!
