Where did you live before you joined Ivey?

Toronto, Canada

Why did you decide to do an MBA?

The focus of my previous role was quite narrow, and I felt as though I wasn’t making a significant impact on my clients’ businesses as a whole. I went back to get my MBA to facilitate a career change to a role where I’d be able to help clients solve key strategic problems and drive true value.

What is the most significant thing you've learned at Ivey?

The most significant thing that I’ve learned at Ivey is the true amount of learning that you can gain from your peers. A lot of the most valuable insights that I’ve gained throughout the program have been from learning group or class discussions, hearing and understanding different perspectives from classmates.

What's been the most surprising aspect of the Ivey MBA journey to date?

The sheer diversity of everyone’s backgrounds and experiences.

Ivey in a few words:

A lot of hard work, a lot of learning, and a lot of fun.
