About Me
Sep 7th, 2012 by Shahista Kassam
Hi, I’m Shahista Kassam and I am currently a first year student at the Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia. I am born in Kisumu, Kenya and raised in Dar-es-salaam, Tanzania.
Through these blogs I aim to share my insights on various topics that interest me in my COM101- Business Fundamentals class.
When I first took this course I was in the impression that Business is all about accounts, finance and marketing, as these are always the burning topics when referring to the word “Business”. However, my views changed, I was completely trilled by all the different opportunities available in the Business world. Although, I am still not completely sure of what I plan to major in with a Commerce degree, I surely have broader knowledge on the opportunities available as well as where my interests are. I therefore plan to publish blogs that give a clear view of my interests and thoughts on a range of topics that I have learnt in class.
