Directors

Shubh Patel

Director and Chief Executive Officer

Hi friends! I’m Shubh – I manage our executive team to ensure that every one of our students can succeed. I am also a Schulich Leader Scholar and first-year medical student at the University of Toronto. When I’m not studying, I enjoy sporting, reading, volunteering, and creating content. If you’re ever in doubt, I’m the person to contact 🙂

Cole Roberts

Director and Chief Scholarship Mentorship Officer

Hi! My name is Cole Roberts and I work alongside the executive team at The Debtless Students. My role includes leading the Scholarship Mentorship team as we mentor students from across Canada through the scholarship and university application process. I am currently majoring in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Energy and Environment at the University of Calgary. I will be heading into my second year of studies. I am a 2020 Schulich Leader, and enjoy volunteering, and staying involved on campus through design challenges, and some other engineering related clubs. One of my current involvements is UCalgary Design League. Outside school, I love sports including baseball and basketball.

Ken Zuo

Director and Chief Financial Literacy Officer

Howdy! I'm Ken Zuo. I strive to help each and every one of our students reach their dreams, wherever that may be. Currently, I am a fourth-year student at McGill University in Honours Microbiology and Immunology, and I am also a past recipient of the TD Scholarship for Community Leadership (the only one on our team, in fact). When I’m not studying... uh...who am I even kidding, I'm always just studying. However, if you need help with anything, I'm always more than happy to be there!

Operations Team

Patricia Feng

Chief Operations Officer

Hi everyone! I'm Patricia and I'm essentially here to help support TDS and all of you in the best way possible - my role is not specific to any branch, so I like to dabble in a few of them! I am going into my second year at the University of Ottawa studying International Economics and Development. In my free time you can usually catch me with my head in a book or taking different personality tests!

Roxy Moldovanu

Chief Essay Editing Officer

Hi everyone! I'm Roxy, and I lead our essay editing team, where we edit students' scholarship applications and TDS blog posts. I'm a fourth-year student in the English Specialist and Education Studies Minor programs at the University of Toronto. When I'm not studying, you can usually find me reading books that aren't for school, painting, and writing!
