Iulia Drehuta - Research and Analysis Associate

What she's studying at school:
Currently in her second year (iBBA) she plans on specialising in marketing.

Why she chose BIG:
I was thrilled about having the opportunity to actually learn something, and gain hands on experience from a student club at Schulich. I found that BIG offered me something different when compared to all of the other clubs at Schulich, and I was eager to offer everything I had to the club as well.

Why she stayed with BIG:
Although I just joined BIG this fall, I find working with every other associate in the club to be a very rewarding experience. I am learning more than I learned in most other research projects at school. In addition, I find interacting with executive members to be very beneficial since I find that they will always share the wisdom they have acquired from working with BIG over the years. It's been a wonderful two months so far with BIG, and I look forward to continuing my work on the CMA project.

What she's excited about learning in marketing as a result of her BIG participation:
Seeing as this is my first year with BIG, I would love to get a chance to learn about what other teams (ex: public relations, advertising) are doing, and what sorts of projects they are involved in. However, for the moment, I am eager to see how the CMA project plays out, and what will be required for us to be able to pull this project together!
