Work Experience during the DeGroote MBA (Co-op or Summer Internship)

• Analyst, Trillium Health Partners

Why DeGroote?

The biggest reason why I chose DeGroote was for their tight knit community, support, and immersive MBA experience. DeGroote has one of the best MBA programs in Ontario and the 3 co-op terms were an unmatchable perk. DeGroote will always have opportunities for everyone to belong and be a part of something that speaks to them.

What piece of advice would you give to anyone considering doing their MBA at DeGroote?

I would say embrace the ambiguity that comes with entering an MBA program during a unfavourable time in the economy. Use ALL the resources and opportunities that come your way and you will be a changed person by the end of your MBA. Embrace the experience and try your best to have a positive attitude especially during the stressful time, it will make a world of a difference in your overall experience.

Extra Curricular Involvement at DeGroote MBA

I am currently the Communications Director for the MBA Association and now am a DeGroote Ambassador!
