Hello! My name is Ella Thomson. I am a recent honors graduate from A.B. Lucas Secondary School, and I'm incredibly excited to be continuing my academic journey at the Smith School of Business at Queen's University, with the goal of eventually going into law. Throughout the past couple years, I have discovered a passion for leadership and community involvement, and I find a lot of satisfaction in taking initiative and making a positive impact on others.Last year I took the step of starting my own business, which has been an incredible learning experience for me. This venture has allowed me to improve my interpersonal skills, work on business management, and effectively leverage social media for marketing and customer engagement.As I prepare to join the Smith School of Business in the fall, I am excited to apply and further develop these skills. I am eager to immerse myself in new opportunities. My goal is to deepen my understanding of the business world and to continue growing as a leader.I am dedicated, hardworking, and ready to embrace the challenges and opportunities that come with pursuing a business degree. I look forward to contributing my unique experiences and perspectives to the Smith community while continuing to explore new avenues for personal and professional growth.
