About Julia Avsec

Hi there! As a fourth year student in the Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia, specializing in Organizational Behaviour and Human Resources with a concentration in Sustainability and Social Impact, I am driven by a deep commitment to lead with purpose and create meaningful change. My journey has taken me through impactful roles at Make-A-Wish Foundation, Toys "R" Us, and LEGOLAND, where I’ve witnessed firsthand the profound influence that thoughtful business practices can have on individuals and communities. These experiences have fueled my passion for using business as a catalyst for growth in society. I am deeply committed to uplifting women in the business community, economically empowering entrepreneurs in developing nations, and unlocking the transformative power of education to drive societal progress. I believe that by embracing these values, we can shape a future where business not only thrives but also nurtures and uplifts those it touches. My vision is to continue growing academically and professionally, with the ultimate goal of completing a master’s degree and becoming a leader in the non-profit sector. I am dedicated to transforming how communities support one another, ensuring that every initiative I undertake leaves a lasting, positive impact.
