Summary
I completed my Bachelor of Commerce (International Business) with strong grades (GPA 3.281) and currently work with Australian clients in finance, logistics, and strategic support. I now want to pursue a Master's degree in Canada – a country known for excellence in international trade, business innovation, and AI-driven strategy. Canada offers world-class programs that align with my goal to combine global business knowledge with emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence. By studying in Canada, I will gain advanced skills in global trade strategy, cross-border business management, and AI applications in business – skills that are highly valued in today's international market. After completing my studies, I plan to return to Sri Lanka and apply this knowledge to help local businesses expand globally, just as I currently support Australian companies from my home country.
