Ryan is a third-year JD student at the University of Ottawa, where he is completing an Option in International Law and serving as the Online Editor for the Ottawa Law Review (overseeing the OLR podcast as well). Born in Winnipeg to South African immigrants, Ryan has long been fascinated by the world beyond our borders, and has nurtured a creative spirit inspired in large part by his mother and his Ouma. This drove him to join The Law School Show in his first year as a Host and Assistant Manager, and he has remained with the podcast since. Ryan’s primary goal is to help his peers decide how they want to write their own stories, by sharing the stories of those who have come before.

Ryan holds a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Classical Studies from Queen’s University, where he was also the Principal Percussionist in the Queen’s Symphony Orchestra, a contributor to the Queen’s Journal, and a member of both the Judicial Affairs Office and the Judicial Committee. One of the highlights of his program was participating in an archaeological excavation in the Republic of North Macedonia (then FYROM), in large part because of the exposure it gave him to new cultures, languages, and artwork.
