Education

Bachelor's degree, Bachelor of Administration, Minor Marketing
  • at Concordia University
  • April 2007

My years at Concordia University were very typical of most University Students. I studied for a Bachelors of Administration and gained much knowledge about most types of "businesses" which includes management, marketing, finance, international business and accounting. Most of my exposure was directed towards Marketing major classes which included Consumer Behavior, Marketing Research, e-Marketing, Advertising and more. My GPA at graduation was 2.75 which is considered very good of a person graduating from the John Molson School of Business, which is rated as one of the top business schools in North America. I was known by my teachers as a hard worker and a dedicated student.
