About Me
Hello, I'm Cassandra. I'm currently a 4th year Bachelor of Commerce student at the University of Victoria's Peter B. Gustavson School of Business, and I strive to be an emerging business leader with a heart. To me, this means conducting business by not solely focusing on sales and profitability alone, but taking a genuine customer-first approach as a dedication to achieving service excellence.
I was born and raised in Victoria and have loved my journey thus far through my extensive education, work, and volunteer experiences. As I complete my final term before I graduate specializing in Service Management, I am eager to bring all of my acquired knowledge and skills to countless new opportunities.
