Hi Everyone! 

My name is Hamna Riaz, welcome to my intro page! 

For those of you who are tired of reading all the intros, feel free to click the youtube video on my showcase for a visual version of this section :) 

To begin, I wanted to welcome you to ISMP and thank you for checking out my page. Whether you choose me as your mentor or not, I genuinely believe you will greatly benefit from this program. Also, shoutout for taking the initiative to enroll, it has been a tough year for you guys, and taking the effort to get extra support is a huge step to making sure you make the most of your university experience and accomplish your goals. 
 

A little bit about me:

I am in my third year of the Digital Enterprise Management specialist and I absolutely love the program. Part of the reason I became a mentor this year was that in 2020-2021 I came in contact with many of your peers and was able to find great enjoyment in assisting them with their university journey, course selection, schoolwork, and so forth. Additionally, I am involved in the UTM MSA and multiple off-campus non-profits/startup programs (which I will get into in our first group session) and feel that I have many unique resources and connections as well as perspectives that could help my mentees. 

Honestly, in my first semester, I was incredibly confused on how to navigate this whole “university life” thing and felt like I was way behind compared to everyone else. I imagine that’s how you guys feel, missing out on your trial and error first year- which is why I'm here! I was able to find the balance between social life and getting good grades as well as getting involved on campus while building your resume off-campus and I would love to help you do the same!

If you have any more questions feel free to reach out! I hope to see you guys soon :)
