Lilliam had originally intended to use her Masters to further develop her own family business in Colombia. However, having returned home, she began to feel frustrated by a lack of opportunities and started to apply for positions overseas.

Now I am moving to Canada to start a new life and I know that I could not have done this without the Masters from 蜜桃AV.鈥�
When asked what advice she would give to other students, Lilliam said: 鈥淚t doesn鈥檛 matter what your plans are, life can overturn them and you should be prepared to go for it. I did my Masters thinking that I would continue my own business and suddenly it all changed.
