Why did you decide to do an MBA?

I've always been drawn to work where I can see the direct impact on people. I chose an MBA because I want to pair that drive with the strategic toolkit and business judgment to create that impact at a higher level, on bigger problems, and in more meaningful ways.

What's been the most surprising aspect of the Ivey MBA journey to date?

The most surprising aspect has been the effect of the case method. It quickly develops a business judgement that you find yourself naturally applying to real-world situations and decisions outside the classroom. Equally surprising is the depth of the friendships and relationships that form when you go through that journey together. I'm excited to see where this journey takes us.
