Inspired to Build Businesses and Relationships
A Marist education is fuel for Loik鈥檚 global mission.
Born in Belgium, raised in Rwanda, graduated high school in Buffalo, NY. Loik鈥檚 global upbringing drew him to Marist and sparked aspirations to pursue entrepreneurship as a path to uplift communities back home. He鈥檚 a natural connector who bridges relationships through clubs, sports, and creative pursuits like poetry. Loik proves that impact comes in more than one form.
