"People here genuinely want to see each other succeed, whether it’s working on group projects or just helping out with advice."

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

I chose to pursue an MBA because I wanted to build on my leadership skills and broaden my understanding of business, especially in the tech and SaaS industries where I’ve already gained some experience. SFU Beedie really stood out to me because of its hands-on approach and close-knit community. The chance to work closely with classmates and get real-world experience through things like the MBA Games was a big draw. Beedie's mix of theory and practical learning just felt like the perfect fit for where I want to go in my career—especially in tech consultancy and leadership roles.

What has been your moment or experience at Beedie so far? What are you looking forward to?

One of the best moments for me at Beedie so far was being part of the BC MBA Games, where my team placed second in the take-home case. It was a great experience working with my classmates, applying what we’ve learned, and seeing how we could tackle real-world challenges together. Looking ahead, I’m excited to take on more in my role as the Director of Marketing and Communications for the Beedie Consulting Club. I’m really looking forward to connecting with more people and getting involved in more hands-on projects and collaborations.

How would you describe SFU Beedie’s culture?

I’d say SFU Beedie’s culture is really collaborative and down-to-earth. People here genuinely want to see each other succeed, whether it’s working on group projects or just helping out with advice. It’s a place where you’re always learning, but you’ve also got this amazing support system of classmates and faculty around you.
