My name is Robel Berhane, I am a 26 year old Eritrean-Canadian, a son, a brother and an extremely driven social pioneer. I am the third born child to immigrants who were the first of their respective families to venture away from their home nation. Look no further to find a beacon of strength, resilience, fortitude, courage and humility than the people I call mom & dad. I am a lover of sports, Mother Earth, and business. My goal is to create change in the world through service to people from all walks of life. I believe through communication, empathy and intentional action, I will succeed in my goal.

For the past 4 years, I have worked intimately with a team to help build and manage Real Estate projects across Ontario. I've gained experience in the dynamic world of private capital, investment trusts and land development during unprecedented times of a global health pandemic and a domestic housing crisis. Problem solving unique challenges has become my specialty and an activity I've grown to enjoy. Take a look at some of the projects I work on.
I have been fortunate enough to access a diverse array of opportunities through work, education and volunteering experiences. Each one of these photos bares a story of a campaign I am strongly passionate about and was able to contribute, learn and network alongside great communities. Please ask me about any one of these moments!
