I completed my undergraduate degree in biological sciences with a minor in management. However, after working in corporate Calgary, I quickly realized I needed validation of my business acumen in order to advance my career. With the support of my employer, I began my Haskayne MBA part-time while continuing in my full-time position. I was able to apply real-time learnings at work and bring real-life issues and challenges to the classroom, which proved to be the most valuable aspect of my MBA.
