I have always had an interest in health and wellness, which started with practicing karate from a young age and achieving my black belt when I was 16 years old. I have carried this interest out through boxing, yoga, and general fitness training. I also enjoy spending time in nature, so as soon as it gets warm, you can find me biking the Humber River Trail!

Our 2023-2024 Montréal Articling Student

Jean-Oliver Savoie

University of Ottawa

Undergrad: Cégep de Lévis – Techniques de comptabilité et de gestion (graduated in 2019)

J’adore le jardinage, j’ai beaucoup de plantes d’intérieur. On pourrait dire que j’ai ma propre petite jungle. J’aime regarder des séries. Je suis entre autres un grand fan de Game of Thrones et mon personnage préféré est Olenna Tyrell. Dans mes temps libres, je passe du temps avec mon chien, Yoshi. C’est un Welsh Corgi Pembroke tricolore. Nous faisons des randonnées ou nous baladons dehors. Un fait amusant à mon propos est que je suis un très bon cuisinier. Ma spécialité est le risotto.

I love gardening, I have a lot of indoor plants. Basically, I have my own personal little jungle. I love watching TV shows. Among others, I'm a big fan of Game of Thrones, my favorite character being Olenna Tyrell. During my free time, I spend some time with my dog, Yoshi. He's a little tricolor Pembrooke Welsh Corgi. We go on hikes, we walk, everything outdoor. A fun fact about myself is that I'm a very good cook. Risotto is my absolute favorite thing to make.
