I chose the Smith MBA to enhance my problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

As an alumnus of the Graduate Diploma in Business (2023), I was able to apply key business concepts as a nursing consultant, improving the nursing supply operations of a long-term care home. This experience was incredibly rewarding and motivated me to pursue an MBA to further develop my skills and expertise.

What I’m most looking forward to is joining the Consulting Club! Collaborating with others on consulting cases is a fantastic way to strengthen my problem-solving abilities. One of my goals is to compete in a case competition!

My advice for applicants is simple—just go for it! If you're looking to pivot your career, the Smith MBA provides a diverse learning experience that prepares you for various career paths. The team-based learning approach is an excellent opportunity to gain insights from others.

As a Registered Nurse during the COVID-19 pandemic, I witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by frontline healthcare workers. After completing my MBA, I aspire to secure a role in consulting or healthcare leadership, where I can make a meaningful impact on the healthcare system—especially for frontline workers.
