Most recent position: PhD candidate at the University of Glasgow studying neurodiversity in the workplace (Alumni of PwC Management Consulting Workforce of the Future)

Why did you choose the John Molson School of Business? I chose JMSB because of its great reputition and location. Also, the MSc Management program allows you to pursue a Ph.D. or go straight into industry. I appreciated the flexibility and options the MSc program gave me.

Favourite place in Montreal: I lived in the Old Port when I went to Concordia; I loved to walk and bike along the Canal.

Future aspirations: Eventually, I will complete a PhD focusing on neurodiversity, researching a topic that can significantly impact society. I also plan to gain experience in the consulting industry by implementing best practices for EDI projects.

What do you wish you knew before starting the program? I wish I knew about all the resources available at Concordia. Many classes and events are offered, from thesis writing to CV upskilling. Additionally, I wish I had known about the all too common graduate school challenge "impostor syndrome" and taken appropriate steps to mitigate it.
