EMANUEL PETRAKIS

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

How do I start? Nice to meet you all, my name is Emanuel Petrakis and I am currently a #SenecaSoMe student. I just turned 25 and trust me it wasn't easy. I recently had a quarter-life crisis. After graduating from the Schulich School of Business from York with my BBA degree I wasn't sure what to do with my life. I first specialized in accounting - I hated it with a passion. In my last two years of study, I specialized in marketing and especially enjoyed consumer behaviour and the psychology behind marketing as a whole. With the extreme growth of social media in the past several years, I thought it would be very valuable for me to develop some hands-on life skills within the world of digital marketing.

I am enthusiastic when it comes to video games and my fitness routines. "You're 25 and you still play video games?" Yes. Yes I do and I'm proud. Gaming is a form of escape and I love it because the life I live in the game is merely controlled by me. I guess you can call me a control-freak. I am very into bodybuilding and I am very knowledgable on the topic. If you control what goes in your body, you control what you look like. I think about life the same way. If you control the factors in your life that you CAN control, then you will accomplish your main objectives.

Just remember, you can do anything you put your mind to.
