What brought you to Centennial College?

I joined Centennial College as an international student in 2006 to pursue my International Business Management program. Upon completing graduation, I embarked on my professional and personal journey. Centennial College gave me a great platform to initiate my career in Canada with confidence and conviction.

Tell us about your favourite Centennial College experience?

During my one year of studies at Centennial College, I made friends from different countries, and started interacting with them to expose myself to new cultures. These experiences helped me understand how various ethnicities and nationalities can come together to build one inclusive environment for mutual growth and progress.

What impact has Centennial College had on your life?

Centennial College gave me a completely different perspective on how one can achieve dreams and goals if they see things from a different perspective. Over the years, I've noticed a developing trend amongst professionals to diversify income as a backup plan, without disturbing their mainstream career. During my lookout, I came across a group of successful entrepreneurs, who impressed me to do something meaningful, positively contribute to help others, and build secondary source of income at the same time.

What are you up to now?

Today, I am happily building my e-commerce business in addition to my full-time professional career. I truly believe in meaningful connections and learning more about young ambitious people. Let’s connect!!
