Life After Mac: Real Stories of alumni finding their way—Arya
I am an International medical postgraduate. While going through the challenging journey of postpartum, I wanted to make it productive. In my search for a suitable program for both myself and my child, I was delighted to discover McMaster University with lots of flexible learning options, which seamlessly blend quality with convenience.
This experience was yet another adventure with my baby, filled with sleepless nights, assignments, and conference calls. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have been mentored by highly knowledgeable and seasoned instructors.
Upon completion of the program, I must commend the instructors for their unwavering support and open lines of communication, always ready to guide and assist whenever needed. I am truly grateful for this enriching experience.
In my search of research positions, I encountered numerous rejections due to the intense competition in this field. However, after a few months, I successfully obtained a position as a Research Assistant in the Vision Science department at the University of Waterloo.
I am very happy to be an alumnus of McMaster University. I have only one piece of advice: create your own path of success, be consistent and determined in your passion, and you will find success!
