Thanks to Mohd Khalid Naseemi for spending his time on the playground with us today!

In today's career chat, we learned about the many pivots he has had to make throughout his educational life in Afghanistan, and once he immigrated to Canada with his family.

I am struck by his intelligence, transferrable skills, determination, focus, resilience, positivity and motivation.

Working with Mohd Khalid was always a treat, and whenever we got to connect, he made me feel so respected and appreciated.

I am so glad he and his family are now able to call Canada their new home. We are a better country because of this!
