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

I pursued an MBA to shift from my research background to a more strategic, business-focused career. SFU Beedie caught my attention because of its collaborative community, practical learning, and strong support for leadership development. The hands-on culture, case opportunities, and student-driven environment made Beedie the right place for me to grow both personally and professionally.

How would you describe SFU Beedie’s culture?

SFU Beedie has a welcoming and community-focused culture. Students come from diverse backgrounds but share a mindset of supporting one another. In classes, case competitions, and student events, SFU Beedie creates an environment where everyone feels included, motivated, and connected.

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

My favourite experience so far has been being part of such a supportive and engaged group. Students regularly organize events, study sessions, and social gatherings that bring everyone together and make the program feel collaborative and friendly. This has created a strong sense of belonging. I look forward to strengthening those connections, taking on leadership roles within SFU Beedie, and participating in opportunities like case competitions and student initiatives that will help our group grow even stronger.
