Years of Work Experience: 5

I hold a degree in Computer Systems from Heriot-Watt University and have built professional experience across the banking and government sectors in the UAE. My background combines technical expertise with a strong understanding of organizational processes and stakeholder needs. I am now pursuing an MBA to strengthen my strategic and analytical skills with the goal of transitioning into consulting, ideally with one of the Big Four firms.

Why did you choose the Sprott Professional MBA?

I chose the Sprott School of Business for my MBA because of its balance of quality, flexibility, and relevance to my career goals. The program offers strong experiential learning opportunities, such as live case studies and client projects, which are important for me as I transition into consulting. Being located in Ottawa, Sprott also provides unique exposure to both the private and public sectors, which aligns well with my background in banking and government in the UAE. Finally, Sprott’s AACSB accreditation, make it a strong platform to build the skills I need to pursue a consulting career with a global firm.

Fun Fact:

A fun fact about me is that I love travelling and immersing myself in new cultures and traditions.
