With the start of the New Year, CiteRight has welcomed two new co-op students to help assist our team with product development, customer service and strategic planning. Let’s get to know them!
ALI
Hi, my name is Ali and I’m a 2A Management Engineering student at the University of Waterloo. I am entering my second internship as a Product Manager for CiteRight. I am really excited about this opportunity because of how flexible the position is, alongside the room for learning. I have been here for a month now, and have learned something new everyday!
Outside of my academic and professional endeavors, I am passionate about sports, working out, and gaming. I love playing basketball and soccer and have been playing both since I was a kid. I also try to incorporate a workout into my everyday life, and have been doing so for about a year now. To add to that, I have been playing video games for a while and love to play action-games.
All About Ali:

I am very interested in accepting challenges where I can learn and apply my skills. I believe that CiteRight has provided an excellent environment to do so!
Q: How do you like to unwind after work?
A: Going to the gym after work helps me unwind and get out of the house. It provides me with energy, and it is an overall good start to my evening!

DUSHAN
Hi! My name is Dushan, and I recently finished my 3B term in Honours Arts and Business majoring in Economics and minoring in Communications at the University of Waterloo. This is my 4th co-op term, and I am very excited about this opportunity as it’s providing me with experience in new areas of business! I have previously worked in marketing and sales, and customer success is proving to be very refreshing as it’s client-facing.
I’m very passionate about basketball and sports in general as I’m a very competitive person! I also love to travel and have been fortunate enough to go on family trips to Europe every summer as well as some solo trips here and there. Since the pandemic, I’ve started to learn to cook and have had a blast making my own recipes!
