Across the world, humankind is living through a period of extraordinary change. Adaptability may be the most essential skill during this era of crisis. The ability to adapt and create tangible solutions that make a real impact on society captivates me. The BCom program in the University of British Colombia has administered me considerable knowledge in the importance of strategy, marketing, and finance to address the ever-changing world we live in today. My inquisitive nature has led me to pursue a wide range of interests, ranging from app development to community athletics. As a learner, I have always been electrified by new challenges that come my way and offer me an opportunity to grow.
