Michael Saunders is a fourth-year Science and Business student at the University of Waterloo whose interests sit at the intersection of climate resilience, innovation, and Caribbean identity. Raised in the Turks and Caicos Islands, Michael brings a lived awareness of how climate change and historical inequities shape the future of small island communities. His academic path blends biology, economics, and finance, and he has gained experience across private banking, investment management, and tax and legal advisory. Michael is also actively involved in entrepreneurial and research initiatives, ranging from tech innovation to sustainable development. Across these experiences, he is driven by a central question: how can historically overlooked regions transform vulnerability into opportunity and leadership?
