In this episode of Kee to Success, I sit down with Michael Avrakh, a 2016 John Polanyi Collegiate Institute SMR (STEM) graduate who went on to study mechanical engineering at Western University and build a career at Tesla before moving to Meta as a product design engineer. Michael shares what high school was really like for him, how extracurriculars and hands-on engineering clubs shaped his path, and why finding real-world application mattered more than perfect grades.
