Q: Tell us a bit about yourself.

Hi, my name is Ifeoluwa Adelakun, and you can call me Ife for short. I live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and I go to Holy Cross High School. I attend RCCG Jesus House Saskatoon church, and I love to play soccer.

Q: Why do you want to participate in the Shad program/ What are you most looking forward to?

I wanted to participate in this program because I saw that it presented me with many good opportunities, and I wanted to experience university life.

Q: What motivates or sparks your curiosity in STEAM and/or entrepreneurship?   

My curiosity in entrepreneurship stems from my wanting to meet the needs of other people and my curiosity as to why establishing a small business has become increasingly popular.

Q: How do you envision your future?

I envision playing soccer at the highest level possible in my future, whether that be as a pro or for my university. I also plan to be a medical doctor in the future.
