Intern at L’Oréal, Professional Products Business Intelligence Department
BA (HONS) in Political Science, 2023
Upon graduating from Carleton University with a Bachelor of Political Science (Honours), I immediately entered the public service as a Client Service Provider at National Defence. Joining National Defence as a civilian was a rewarding experience as I had the privilege of supporting the highly esteemed men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces. As a Client Service Provider within the ADM (Mat) Group, I was part of a team that researches and procures materiel items and services for the Canadian Armed Forces. The research and analytical skills I honed while studying Political Science, as well as the ability to comprehend past and current foreign affairs, had prepared me to be better situated in my role at National Defence.
Since graduation, my time outside of work has consisted of participating in a business case study competition held by the L’Oréal Group, in which the team I am a part of will have the opportunity to represent Canada at the 2024 World Finals. Recently, I have left the public service for an opportunity at L’Oréal’s Professional Products Business Intelligence department as an Intern with the hope of furthering my knowledge and experience within the private sector.
Studying Political Science at Carleton was a truly enriching experience. The diversity of courses, engaging classroom discussions, and the wealth of knowledge and experience the department’s faculty had to offer, all while situated in the heart of Canada’s capital, was invaluable.
