I plan to complete a Graduate Certificate program in Sport Business Management at Algonquin College.  This one-year program prepares students to work within the broader area of sport, particularly the management aspect of the industry. As the nation’s capital, Ottawa had the opportunity of having six different professional sport franchises (except with the NHL lock-out) and more national governing sport bodies and multi-sport organizations than any other city in Canada. The design of the Sport Business Management Program and its respective components are unique. The program balances sport-business management education with an intensive experiential work placement.

I plan to continue working in the service industry, where I gain incredible amounts of information on consumer behaviour, and am able to practice tolerance and understanding.  Serving allows me to stay focused on my school work, yet with the ability to stay financially stable, by working six nights a week, and completing my classes and internship by day.

I hope to gain a competitive edge for future endeavours by completing a graduate certificate combined with my current training, along with living a happy and healthy lifestyle.
