I was a part of the Schulich School of Business faculty at York University.
Although the four-year undergraduate term was rigorous and dense, I was able to develop a career within the capital markets sector as a result of my post-secondary background.
More importantly, the soft skills that I gained through collaborative group initiatives, participating in club-related activities (i.e. DECA, case competitions. etc.), and course-based presentations provided a good foundation for me to rely on when having interactions in the corporate world. I believe that although my technical aptitude may have helped me get my foot in the door, the people/soft skills gained throughout the 4 years helped me secure internships and subsequently full-time roles.
Overall, I am a strong advocate for post-secondary and higher education. I plan to go back to school to pursue my Masters in Finance.
In the meantime, I am working on attaining a CFA designation.

Amazing university, really happy with my choice. The campus and clubs are great. Teachers and students are very helpful. Its easy to make friends as their are a vast variety of students from different ethnicities
