Introduction:

Born and raised in Lebanon, Stephanie Ponassian pursued a bachelor's degree in business administration from the American University of Beirut. In 2017, she moved to Dubai to join the Kraft Heinz Company as a management trainee. She moved up the career ladder fast at different companies as a marketing professional and currently works at Americana Kuwait Food Company as an assistant marketing manager.
Stephanie's short-term goal is to switch from marketing and become a Human Resources Manager in the Food and Beverage industry. Long term, she wants to establish her consulting firm and help businesses thrive. To fulfill her career aspirations, she applied to MBA programs at two Canadian universities- McGill and Concordia. However, the biggest hurdle in Stephanie's dreams was her non-competitive GMAT. She partnered with MER on her application for these two schools and received admission offers from both. Stephanie has decided to attend the Desautels Faculty of Management of McGill University.
