René is a graduate of the University of British Columbia’s Peter A. Allard School of Law and articled with Brian Coleman, K.C., Glen Orris, K.C., Mark Swartz, and Chantal Paquette in downtown Vancouver.


During law school, René was deeply involved in public interest work, including the UBC ID Clinic, which provides essential identification services to marginalized individuals. His commitment to access to justice earned him recognition as a co-recipient of the Chief Justice Richard Wagner Award.
