Queen's University
Master of Management Analytics (MMA)

Pursuing a Master of Management Analytics at Queen’s University's Smith School of Business was a natural progression of my academic and professional aspirations, driven by a lifelong fascination with data's potential to optimize systems and processes. This program, known for its comprehensive approach to not only leveraging data for business optimization but also for its emphasis on structuring complex projects and leading high-performance teams, was the perfect match for my interests. The team-based structure of the program, which grouped us into teams of eight based on our backgrounds and personality tests, was instrumental in enhancing the learning experience. My team, a diverse group from across Canada, became a source of resilience and collaboration, allowing us to tap into each other's strengths and work cohesively towards our common goals. Supported by a team coach who ensured our progress and well-being through bi-monthly meetings, I discovered a profound appreciation for the power of teamwork, recognizing that while I am strong individually, my potential is significantly amplified when part of a team. This challenging yet rewarding year not only pushed me to my limits but also stands out as one of my proudest achievements, encapsulating the essence of my master's journey: harnessing the synergy of data analytics and team dynamics to drive meaningful business outcomes.
