Why did you choose the John Molson School of Business? I strongly believe that networking is imperative to professional success. Forging connections with professionals in the industry and having someone champion your candidacy will provide the career opportunities I seek post-MBA. While pursuing the John Molson MBA, I was confident that I would be able to connect with influential executives and professionals, and build long-lasting relationships. 

Highlights of Program: Organizing the John Molson MBA International Case Competition was the most challenging experience of my MBA. By working at such a prestigious and high-caliber event, I greatly improved my communication skills.

Favourite place in Montreal: The Lachine Canal bike path

Future aspirations: After gaining extensive experience in the aerospace and packaging industries in Canada, my career trajectory is set towards securing a position as a Senior Manager or Sourcing Director within the next five years. Concurrently, I work as a part-time admissions consultant, a position I find deeply rewarding. I am committed to guiding students towards their academic aspirations and helping them gain admission to their dream universities. Additionally, I am actively developing my skills in Futures and Options trading, a field that has captured my interest. This pursuit allows me to explore financial markets and expand my knowledge in investment strategies.

What do you wish you knew before starting the program? John Molson offers a lot of experiential activities that MBA students can take full advantage of. Unfortunately, before coming, I did not know anyone who could help me with my queries and suggest the right path forward.
