It was a pleasure to have Justin in my Integrated Marketing Communications class at Humber. With keen insights that he shared in our 2020 online classes, his contributions to class discussions were much appreciated and added positive engagement in class.

His communication and PR skills are outstanding and he will be an asset to any organization with the unique skill set he brings to the table. Justin is well-liked by his peers and often pitched as a team leader and spokesperson. I wish him all the best!

I had the pleasure of teaching Justin in my Strategic Communications and CSR & Sustainability classes at Humber College. Justin is a strong analytical thinker, excellent communicator and collaborative team player. Throughout both semesters Justin exhibited a strong work ethic and exemplary PR and communications skills that were used to engage the class in thoughtful discussions.

I was impressed with the contributions that Justin brought to every class and his dedication to producing excellent work. Optimistic, engaging and easy to get along with Justin is a true professional and would be an asset in any role he pursues.

Justin has an analytical and an insightful approach to his work. This often produces sound strategy, quality work, and impactful performance.

Justin also leverages his skillset very well, allowing us to efficiently execute on timely projects. It was a pleasure to work with him.

I supervised Justin as a media volunteer at the Niagara 2022 Canada Summer Games. He was diligent in his preparation to execute his role and attended more trainings than required so he would be fully prepared for each of his venues (I appreciated his willingness to volunteer at more than one location).

In asking one of his leads on how he carried out his duties, they had to say "Justin was great - a pleasure to work with, I had no issues with him. He was really eager to help out and jumped in wherever he needed to be."

Justin was a Summer Program Associate in Communications with the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA) in the department of Strategic Business Planning and Public Relations for eight weeks from June to July 2023, funded through the Canada Summer Jobs Program. In the short time with our organization, he eagerly threw himself into a myriad of different communications and marketing-related opportunities and helped our team to advance and deliver on several key initiatives.

His graphic design, video editing, media monitoring and analysis, and interpersonal communications skills were an asset for our fast-paced operation. Whether it was attending the Pelham Rotary Family FarmFest as a front-line NPCA ambassador, snapping a lovely team photo at our summer get together, helping to co-ordinate a spot with YourTV at the Ontario Bolerama at Long Beach Conservation Area, or keeping our social media channels alive and kicking with relevant and engaging content – including an excellent campaign about the Wainfleet Bog in recognition of World Bog Day (July 23) – he approached everything we threw at him with a healthy mix of professionalism, enthusiasm and creativity.
