Graduation term: Fall 2022
Hometown: Winnipeg, Manitoba
Languages spoken: English
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 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.
