There is an apt saying that "life can be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards," and I believe it to be the same in the world of commerce. Every significant number, detail, data, and report tells you a story, and I am at my happiest deciphering that puzzle, whilst pushing it forward. Through my education in McGill University, my past experiences working at institutions such as HSBC, and Knauf, alongside my leadership roles in Model UN and various Students' Associations at McGill; I have understood a great deal about myself:I live to be challenged, and work at my best in pressure situations- I love learning, no matter the complexity or simplicity, if it adds value it's worth knowing - I stay focused in the face of adversity; look to make quality decisions rather than fret over the past I equally enjoy both collaborating as part of a team, or as the leader of the team-I believe in taking ownership and responsibility in your role, and through it leading by example-I am an effective communicator that looks to resolve conflicts rather than shy away from them -I love to win, and winning as a team has always felt a lot more rewardingThe road to McGill University has not been an easy one, nonetheless, the challenges have made it all the more fulfilling. As a new graduate, I hope to bring that commitment to the work environment, whilst seeking to grow, prosper and develop alongside the firm.
