After earning my Marketing degree, I realized that the sales and marketing side is not the only part of my professional persona. As much as I greatly enjoy presentations, networking, customer interaction and sales, my other passion came from teamwork, and being a natural leader. My peers would always look to me with respect, as I always recognize, and treat all my associates with great respect. I proved to have a great ability in finding the key attributes of each of my team mates, and finding how to mesh all of them together for the must successful results and co-operation. My strongest traits that helped my through my schooling were my superb communication and presentation skills, as well as my excellent leadership skills. I understood the basics that management plays in the corporate world, but I wanted to further increase my knowledge to understand what it takes to become an even greater leader and team player.

By developing a passion for sales and marketing through my experience in Car Buffs, I decided to get a marketing diploma. Already possessing great communication skills, i found myself understanding an entire new side of the corporate world, and how all the different industries are linked together through the supply chain. I have understood the basics of marketing, what it takes to evaluate current businesses, understand their strengths and weaknesses, and how to develop plans on how to improve the company's overall performance. Towards completion of this program, I found my passion for sales, and most importantly my expert ability in presentations. Not only were my presentations always a remarkable A grade, I was then being recognized my all my peers and professors of my successful presentations. Although I was offered after the recruiting period, I was asked to be part of the OCMC (Ontario College Marketing Competition), a great achievement for me.
