What are some of your personal and professional achievements?

Being a newcomer immigrant in Canada has been an inspiring journey filled with challenges and achievements. Moving to a new country with a different culture, language, and way of life presented its own set of hurdles, but it also opened doors to exciting opportunities for personal and professional growth. One of my proudest accomplishments since arriving in Canada has been successfully completing my MBA here. The experience of studying in a diverse and inclusive academic environment not only expanded my knowledge and skills but also allowed me to form valuable connections with classmates from various backgrounds. 

Beyond my academic achievements, I have also made significant start in resuming my career in my chosen field overseas. The process of navigating the Canadian job market and adapting to the local professional landscape was initially challenging, but my perseverance and determination paid off. This achievement not only boosted my confidence but also reinforced my belief in the power of hard work and adaptability in the face of new challenges. 

I am continually inspired by the country’s welcoming and diverse community. The journey so far has taught me the value of resilience, embracing change, and maintaining a positive outlook. I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead, both personally and professionally, and am committed to making meaningful contributions to my new home, valuing the experiences that have shaped my journey.
