Namra Malik, Co-President
Women in Leadership Laurier’s (WILL) primary focus is to promote equality, diversity and inclusion while fostering the continuous growth and development of female students interested in various areas of business… and Grace and Namra wanted to represent exactly that. Throughout their time at Laurier, they’ve made it their goal to inspire female leaders from diverse backgrounds in a traditionally male-dominated industry. Grace and Namra are passionate about providing students with resources, information and support needed to succeed in today’s professional environment, and becoming industry leaders. They absolutely love their WILL family and couldn’t be prouder of the team that they’re grown into today.
