Alexandra Salazar Parraguez
My name is Alexandra, and I am a curious and friendly person deeply interested in today's complex world. To pursue this interest, I completed my Bachelor’s degree in International Relations at Tecnológico de Monterrey, Mexico City. However, I was eager to explore additional fields for further development, leading me to pursue a Master of Management to enhance my knowledge in business. It has been a rewarding journey to come to Vancouver for this purpose and to call Canada my home. I truly enjoy long walks, exploring new cities, learning languages, reading, and meeting new people!
Ethan Lee
Hi, I am Ethan, a University of Toronto alumna from Vancouver, B.C., Canada. After completing my HBSc in Neuroscience and Psychology, I started my career in marketing research and commercial banking operations. I quickly realized that I wanted to advance my knowledge of business fundamentals and develop a “business mindset”, so I decided to pivot towards a Master of Management at UBC Sauder! In my free time, you can usually see me working on my bench press at the gym, exploring Vancouver’s vibrant food scene, or practicing piano with my two cats yelling in the background.
