Hello everyone!
This may be a bit repetitive from my last introduction but I have recently moved to BC from Ottawa, Ontario. I am looking forward to this new adventure and exploring everything that this beautiful province has to offer! Originally, I came out here for a wedding but fell in love with how stunning Vancouver is, so I decided to cancel my plane ticket.
I am delighted to be in the MA of Leadership because I have been studying these types of subjects for fun on my spare time for the past couple of years. I am very passionate about self-development and love to read anything related to leadership, business, investing, or organizational-psychology. On my spare time, I also love to travel whether that entails being a tourist in my own city or going backpacking overseas. This summer consisted mostly of hiking, camping, exploring, hanging out on beaches, and embarking on road trips. I also enjoy going to the gym and living an active lifestyle.
Currently, I am working for an interior design company in south Surrey. Although I have zero experience in designing, I have a background in business so my job is to market and expand the company. Eventually, I hope to become a management consultant to help organizations and leaders perform more efficiently and impact more lives. Over the course of this semester, I am thrilled to work with passionate achievers that understand that one’s ability to have a great impact in the world, directly correlates to having an extraordinary ability to influence and lead.

Thanks for the intro CC;
Great to have you aboard to decipher the Ottawa milieu for us. LOL!
Looking forward to your engagement and the addition to the overall program. I think others will find your insight and understanding of the present platform enlightening.

Hi Christina! Nice to meet you! I am impressed that you left the birthplace of the Beavertail for the land of White Spot 🙂 To be honest, as I was on campus this summer, I could totally see the attraction but alas, Toronto is the home that I love. I have a very dear friend that did the exact same thing and now she is happily living in Abbotsford. I would be very interested in learning more about how you are planning on transitioning into management consulting. I always find that job interesting and learning how people get into that business!

Hello Christina,
Thanks for sharing a bit of who you are in your introductory blog post. Sounds like you have a real passion for influencing and impacting the lives of those you work with…you seem like a person with some strategic thinking and actions in place already! I trust we will all learn some amazing aspects of strategic leadership and how we can invest this learning in the work that we are each called to do. I’m looking forward to getting to know you, and the rest of our class, better over the next 10 weeks.
