Why did you choose John Molson School of Business?
I work nearby so I would pass by the school twice a day. Seeing many young and confident students on campus, I  decided that this is where I would do my MBA.  John Molson School of Business is widely known in Montreal as a leading business school. This was a rare consensus among my friends, my boss and even the babysitter.

Focus of Program: Business Administration - Strategic management and critical thinking

Highlight of your program, so far? 
When I started my first MBA course Financial Accounting, I had been out of school for 5 years and had little knowledge on the subject. The midterm result was a C, but I didn’t give up and worked really hard to bring the final grade to A-.

Favourite place in Montreal? Avenue Mont-Royal with my family looking for brunch on the weekend.

Future aspirations: The knowledge I have learned from the program is incredible and practical. I’m excited to put all these new skills to use in my career. Being a person who has long been used to interpret things from a technical or engineering standpoint, the MBA taught me how to look from a whole new perspective. I’d love to combine my technical expertise and business skills from the John Molson MBA to better serve in the IT consulting industry.

What do you wish you knew before coming to John Molson School of Business? 
I have eaten at lots of places close to the school, and never realized I could have saved money by showing Concordia Student ID!
