Michael Nielsen

I am an English Honours major and Legal Studies minor student graduating from Simon Fraser University in October of 2026. I have strong communication, collaboration, and organizational skills which I have developed through my education and previous employment. Experiences working in various team environments, coordinating programs, and communicating with different groups has given me a broad set of skills.

I am excited to move into a new industry to use my research and critical thinking skills to effectively communicate pathways to solutions through problem solving analysis.
