Through Creative Thinking (BUSI 4117), I had the privilege to visit and collaborate closely with a remote community in Mayo, Yukon. Engaging with the community members and contributing to meaningful projects was an enriching experience that broadened my perspective and reinforced the importance of community engagement. My Co-op at PwC as an assurance associate provided invaluable hands-on experience in auditing. In my role as vice-president of finance at the Sprott Information Systems Student Association (SISSA), I get to develop my leadership and organizational abilities while pursuing my love of technology in the business world.
