Why did you choose the John Molson School of Business? I chose the John Molson School of Business because it is central to Montreal's rich ecosystem of business and technology actors. This has allowed me to expand my network and partake in unique opportunities, such as startup incubators and renowned sustainable programs associated with Concordia University. Furthermore, the MSc program in Business Analytics and Technology Management aligns seamlessly with the areas I wanted to develop, combining business and technology. 

Favourite place in Montreal: It’s hard to pick just one as I’m a Montrealer at heart. I would recommend Place des Arts to anyone looking for activities, as it’s very lively – often hosting free events – and there’s plenty to do around the area.

Future aspirations: To become more involved with the tech ecosystem in Montreal and tackle societal challenges..

What do you wish you knew before starting the program? Communication skills will set you apart and it’s never too early to start perfecting that area.
