Shane Cyr -
Co-President
Hello! My name is Shane (He/Him). I am a 3rd year Psychology and Bioinformatics student at the U of A. This is my first year on the exec team and I am absolutely ecstatic to be taking on a bigger role with Ink Movement! Many of my friends, family, and I revolve our lives around the fine arts, so Ink Movement’s goal of promoting and empowering youth are ones that I align with immensely :) My fun fact is that I used to be one of the top Minecraft Parkourists in North America! (but I also love bears, orchestral percussion, and literary classics).
