Gillian is a Graduate Career and Engagement Consultant (Career Coach) at the Haskayne School of Business at the University of Calgary. She helps students take the next step from Education, to finding a career that aligns with their values.

Gillian encouragement and enthusiasm played a huge part in my journey through the Master of Management program over the past year. This conversation is full of valuable insights that will resonate with anyone who needs encouragement, or is trying to decide which path they want to take in life.
