"I have made two large transitions in my career: from academia to business, and from large corporations to start-ups. Being open to new opportunities and always looking to build on my knowledge and skills have helped me tremendously with my career progression.

I've participated as a GradFUTURES mentor. It took me a long time to learn the best ways to manage my career, having started with an academic background that lacked business experience and without access to mentors. I hope to be able to help others learn the same lessons quicker so that they can contribute greater impact to the world sooner."

"Developing a breadth of skills (including soft skills) will help prepare one to be able to take on a wider range of opportunities that present themselves. More choices mean more possibilities for career advancement."
