Now, Regis is thriving—both in the classroom and on the streets of Downtown Vancouver, where you can often find him busking and sharing his music with locals and tourists alike.

With courses focused on budgeting, scheduling, team dynamics, and risk assessment, he's building a solid foundation for any business or creative endeavor.
"Project Management gives me structure," Regis says. "As a creative person, it’s been amazing to learn how to plan and lead projects more effectively."
Working at the VSO School of Music as a Junior Registration Officer

"It’s such a perfect fit," he says. "I’m learning about project management and applying it directly in a creative space that means a lot to me."
A Musician at Heart: Busking in the City
When he’s not studying or working, Regis is often seen busking downtown with his guitar. It’s more than a hobby—it’s a way for him to stay connected to his roots, share his culture, and bring joy to passersby. His performances have become a recognizable part of the local music scene.
A Canadian College Ambassador with a Message
As an ambassador for Canadian College, Regis actively supports prospective students, offering advice, encouragement, and insight into what it’s really like to study and live in Vancouver.
"If you’re thinking of studying abroad, don’t just look at the school—look at how you can grow as a person too," he shares in his video testimonial. "Canadian College gave me more than education—it gave me opportunity."
