Why did you choose Daniels

After finishing my undergraduate degree in computer science and working for a year in the field, I realized I wanted to be more involved in making an impact through my career. Since I had an interest in finance, the MSAQF program at Daniels offered a unique intersection between my previous experience and where I wanted to go in my career. From word of mouth, I also knew that the culture at Daniels, which is greatly contributed to by excellent staff and faculty, was one I wanted to be a part of.
