Why did you choose the Sprott Professional MBA?

I loved my experience at Sprott as an undergraduate student, and wanted to return in pursuit of my MBA! The PMBA program in Kanata appealed to me for several reasons; the in-classroom format, the convenience of the location and the Sprott Faculty. I’ve always wanted to obtain an MBA, and my long-term goal is to wind up teaching at the post-secondary level.

Fun Fact:

I met Post Malone last summer in Toronto. I was walking along the waterfront and saw him entering a restaurant. I followed him inside and got a selfie at the bar!
