I obtained my bachelor’s degree in International Business in 1996, and then my Masters degree in Business and Administration at McGill University in 2002. I met some incredible people during my studies, and I am happy to say that I still have many peers that I consider friends after all these years (you know who you are my MBA peeps!).
