UBC Sauder · Class of 2026
I turn ambiguous problems into structured, executable plans.
A UBC Sauder commerce graduate — most at home taking something vague and undefined and giving it a shape people can act on.
How I think
Select any principlestructure
The work I like best starts out completely undefined. Hand me a vague brief and I'd rather figure out the plan, the owners, the sequence, myself — an audit trail across four teams, a go-to-market report for a new market, whatever it is.

Nexara
Founder-led · Discovery-stageExploring how AI can help small businesses make better decisions.
Small businesses make big decisions with small research budgets.
Pricing, expansion, positioning — the decisions that matter most rarely come with the data or time to properly investigate them. That gap is what I wanted to explore: could an AI-powered layer make structured decision support accessible to businesses that can't hire a strategy team for every question.

Why I recommend it
For anyone stuck between what they're good at and what actually pays.
What I learned
Purpose is rarely one grand thing — usually a few boring things lining up at once, which is less inspiring than the book wants it to be.
How it influenced my thinking
I stopped looking for the one right career and started looking for the version that hits enough of the boxes.
