Background

About Geoff Vickers

My choice of pursuing a dual Bcomm degree with a specialization in finance along with a concentration in marketing materialized from my desire to have a more robust education on the topic of business administration. Growing up, I was surrounded by individuals who had an entrepreneurial spirit that inspired me to study business and achieve a fulfilling career. Finance, specifically the banking industry, has always intrigued me. I was motivated to specialize in finance because I believed having a strong grasp on the quantitative subject would prove beneficial in my professional career. However, I did not want to lack the qualitative side of the Bcomm degree. This lead to my last-minute decision to finish my undergraduate with a second specialization in marketing. This combination of topics allows me to apply myself in the professional setting with a greater perspective. In my current and former role at TD Canada Trust, I use my financial knowledge to aid clients in using our products to support them in meeting their financial goals while applying my marketing skills to fulfill the sales requirements requested by TD. University was about more than simply education. During my undergraduate, I was able to participate in various clubs that broadened my perspective on current issues faced by our society. Working for Enactus Windsor I was exposed to social issues including women's rights and the impact poverty has on Windsor. Since I have started in the workforce as a gas station employee I have been able to use and apply the knowledge I have gained from my university experience to advance my professional career.
