Why did you choose the John Molson School of Business? A few of the highlights of this John Molson program are: the great networks you build in-class and through networking events; being able to study in a full-time program while working and progressing in my career; the great downtown Toronto location of the classrooms; small classroom sizes that help make the professors more easily accessible; and being able to study the same program with the same students in either one of Montreal or Toronto - two great Canadian cities.

Favourite place in Montreal: Old Montreal, Mont-Royal, Lachine Canal, Centre Bell

Future aspirations: After completing my MBA and CFA designations, I'd like to continue to further my education and pursue more learning opportunities. I'd like to enhance my professional and technical skills to become an expert in my current field of work and be able to strike a great home and work life balance in the process.

What do you wish you knew before starting the program? About the additional resources available to students - even in Toronto - such as career and networking services, as well as financial modeling and various workshops.
