about me
Hi, thanks for stopping by!

My name is Justice and I'm born and raised in Markham, Ontario (~1 hour north of Toronto).
I'm currently working in early-stage venture at AltaML's Venture Studio, where I'm focused on product. I'll be returning this summer to work on strategy — excited to keep learning and building in this space.
I'm in my third year at the University of Waterloo, studying Accounting and Finance — but I'm always looking to explore beyond the textbook.
I'm particularly interested in the intersection of:
- Technology
- Venture Capital
- Strategy
I love solving problems, learning from people doing cool things, and thinking about markets, investing, and new ideas.

Lately, I've been diving into the venture studio model — it's a space I'm curious about, and I've been writing more about what makes it work (and not work).
A Bit More
Big music fan — I have three concerts coming up this summer: Kendrick, SZA, and The Weeknd.

Played just about every sport at some point — jack of all sports, master of none.
- Still chasing that intramural championship t-shirt in school.
- Taking running more seriously now — maybe Boston 2028/2029?


Always open to learning new things and meeting new people — feel free to reach out!
