STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Throughout my life, I have faced challenges where I had to step up, take charge,
organize, and work hard to reach my goals. In this process, not only have I grown as a
person but also nurtured my inherent quality of being a problem solver. My academic
experiences and passion for cricket helped me gain the ideal exposure required to
understand the importance of balancing my life. They also helped me develop the skill
to succeed equally in my education and passion. It is through these encounters that I
realized that I have an interest in working my way through complicated situations and
enabling people to succeed especially with the help of my experiences.

To streamline my interests, I pursued my Bachelor in Business Administration (BBA)


from Jahnavi Degree College (Osmania University) in Telangana, India. The choice of
the undergraduate institution was one of the first academic predicaments I faced. While
I had secured a seat in a college ranked higher, it had zero opportunities for
extracurriculars. I made the tough decision to choose a college with good academics
and a scope for all round development. I enjoyed learning Principles of Management,
digital marketing, marketing research, data analytics among other subjects. I also found
myself improving on my personality and communication skills while participating in
classroom discussions.

Along with my academics, I was captaining the college cricket team and together we
won several tournaments for the college. The best part about cricket was that it not only
made me feel alive while playing but also helped me realise how much of a team player
I am. Three of my team members went on to play Ranjhi trophy which I unfortunately
could not join owing to my financial status at the time but I lived one of my childhood
dreams through them. I graduated with a composite GPA of 8.10.

While I awaited my results, I had the opportunity to intern as a Marketing Analyst for
Trifacta Data LLP, Hyderabad, India. My primary role was to conceptualize, coordinate
and curate experiences for various corporate clients of the company. Additionally, I also
regularly dipped my foot in Cost Negotiation, Email Marketing, Social Media Marketing,
Business development and Lead Generation. Towards the end of the internship, I was
also extracting contacts of C-level executives and pitching relevant market study of their
business stream.
I watched my peers sprint past me with their academic and professional careers where I
often had to take a step back to support my single mother. I am thus highly encouraged
to make the best use of the opportunities at hand because I understand the importance
of privilege and time. While my education and life experiences have pointed me in the
right direction, I know that I have a long way to go to develop the right skills essential to
contribute productively to my chosen field of project management. I also believe that
gaining exposure abroad will help me broaden my horizons and challenge me to widen
my perspectives. For this reason, I chose to pursue a Post-Graduate degree in Project
Management.

As I explored the multitude of options in front of me, I was quickly attracted to the robust
academic curriculum with a practical orientation that universities in Canada carry.
Further research made it clear why it is known as ‘the land of opportunities’. Given my
existing fascination with the cultural diversities and welcoming nature of the country, it
was a no-brainer that I would choose to pursue my higher studies in Canada. I am sure
that with this exposure, I will be able to nurture my outgoing personality while shaping
my future in the best way possible.

area. … I think Sheridan College is a step in the right direction for me.

Through a career in project management, I hope to grow into a powerful leader who
revels in the success of their team. I hope that I can motivate my team to put their best
foot forward and work hard to bring out the best of their potential. I want to be a
dependable and valuable asset to any organization that I get the honor of joining. I will
prioritize the heart of the company and work towards its smooth functioning. After
gaining substantial experience, I wish to head back to India to empower small
businesses and work with start-ups.

me develop the skills necessary to succeed in both my education and passion.

To pursue my interests, I completed my Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) from Jahnavi


Degree College (Osmania University) in Telangana, India. The decision to attend this institution was
one of my first academic challenges as I had to weigh the opportunity for extracurricular activities
against the prestige of a higher-ranked college. Ultimately, I chose to attend a college with strong
academics and opportunities for all-around development. During my studies, I gained knowledge in
subjects such as Principles of Management, Digital Marketing, Marketing Research, and Data
Analytics. Additionally, I improved my communication and personality skills through classroom
discussions.

In addition to my academics, I also captained the college cricket team and led the team to win
several tournaments. Cricket not only brought me joy while playing, but it also taught me the value
of teamwork. Unfortunately, I was unable to pursue my dream of playing in the Ranji Trophy due to
financial constraints. Nevertheless, I graduated with a composite GPA of 8.10.

While awaiting my results, I had the opportunity to intern as a Marketing Analyst for Trifacta Data

time and am determined to develop the skills necessary to contribute productively to the field of

challenge me to widen my perspectives.

With this in mind, I have decided to pursue a Post-Graduate degree in Project Management in
Canada. I was attracted to the strong academic curriculum and practical orientation of Canadian
universities. Furthermore, Canada's reputation as a land of opportunities and my interest in its
cultural diversity and welcoming nature made it an obvious choice for me.

I have chosen to attend Sheridan College, a renowned institution known for its alumni, strong
academic program, highly qualified faculty, and excellent facilities. A PG in Project Management from
