My Education
MY LIFE IN SCHOOL
I am currently in the final semester of my fourth year in the Technology Management program at Ontario Tech University in Oshawa, Ontario, working toward my Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) degree. Throughout my academic journey, I have developed a strong interest in the intersection of business, technology, and digital marketing.
Over the past three years at Ontario Tech, I have completed a wide range of courses that strengthened both my technical and strategic skill set. In particular, my marketing-focused courses, including Marketing Management, E-Marketing, and Social Media Marketing, played a key role in shaping my career interests. These courses allowed me to explore brand strategy, consumer behavior, digital platforms, content creation, analytics, and online engagement through hands-on projects and real-world applications.
In addition to marketing, my coursework helped me build strong foundational skills in business analysis, technology applications, and professional communication. I am confident using tools such as Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, while also gaining a deeper understanding of how technology supports modern business decision-making.
The transition from high school to university presented several challenges, including adapting to increased workloads, independent living, and a structured class schedule. While my first semester required adjustment, I developed strong time-management and problem-solving skills that allowed me to grow academically and personally in the semesters that followed.
My interest in business, technology, and digital marketing began in high school through coursework in marketing and computer studies, which laid the foundation for my academic journey at Ontario Tech.
As I prepare to graduate, my goal is to build my own digital marketing business. This vision is what inspired me to launch Rias Digital Portfolio on Instagram and create this personal website, where I actively showcase my skills, projects, and creative growth. As we move into the new year, I am focused on continuing to refine my expertise, working with clients, and expanding my brand within the digital marketing space.
