I'm a Finance & Economics graduate from the University of Regina -originally from Calcutta, India, where I packed up and moved countries with no local network, no connections, and no blueprint for how to make it work here. Since then, I've figured a lot of it out. I've won 11 scholarships, self-sourced 5 internships (TD Asset Management, Farm Credit Canada, Cultivator powered by Conexus, the Government of Saskatchewan, and more), sat on boards, led student organizations, published 50+ articles, and co-founded a civic initiative that hit 2.1 million impressions in 6 months. I know what it takes to make your story land on paper because I've had to do it over and over again, from scratch, as an international student with no one handing me a template. If you're a first-gen applicant, an international student, or just someone who feels like their story is stronger than their application is showing - I've been exactly where you are.
