Yvonne Osagie, (MBET '23)

From a young age, Yvonne knew she wanted to pursue a masters because of her passion and love for learning.

“I love learning, and I recognize the fact that even outside of this degree, I'm probably always going to have some level of learning experience every single year.”

Alongside her full-time position, Yvonne completed her part-time grad studies in Waterloo’s Master of Business, Entrepreneurship and Technology program. She originally planned on completing her MBA, but realized that the program wasn’t providing her with what she needed, which was something that could help her start her own business.
