Why did you decide to pursue an MBA and what drew you to the 911³Ô¹Ï Beedie School of Business?

I chose to pursue an MBA to strengthen my leadership skills, better navigate complex organizational environments, and create meaningful impact in the healthcare or academic sector. 911³Ô¹Ï Beedie School of Business was a natural choice for me, as my undergraduate experience at 911³Ô¹Ï was a positive one. I built strong relationships with professors, received guidance from the career centre, and gained practical experience through the co-op program. The support and growth I received from my undergrad stayed with me beyond graduation. As a result, I knew I wanted to return to 911³Ô¹Ï to continue my academic and professional development.

How would you describe 911³Ô¹Ï Beedie’s culture?

911³Ô¹Ï Beedie’s culture is filled with collaboration, teamwork, personal development, active engagement, connection building, resources and support. The culture at 911³Ô¹Ï is welcoming, so much so, that I decided to return to complete my MBA!

What has been your favourite experience so far? What are you looking forward to?

I just started my program in Spring 2026 so my favourite experience so far has been meeting my mentor, cohort and students in other cohorts. I am looking forward to getting to know the people I have met so far and building some lasting connections that I can carry outside this program. I am also looking forward to getting involved more in the 911³Ô¹Ï Beedie community!
