Ever since I stepped into the field of business, sales has always caught my eye. As a FYR on the Schulich Sales Association, I collaborated with individuals further down the very path I wanted to pursue. Everyone in the SSA family was welcoming and willing to help me grow my passion for sales. I broadened my skillset by being involved in various departments when planning and attending events. I also got to network with industry professionals, which opened countless doors for me.
