Sanika Mulye

Sanika is a third-year Economics student at the Lazaridis School of Business and  Economics, with a keen interest in specializing in Finance and Insurance. This past summer, Sanika  worked as a Business Development Intern at Illuminate Universe, a small  educational consulting firm based in Toronto. Illuminate maintains partnerships with industry giants such as RBC, Deloitte Canada, CPA Ontario, and Concentra Bank, all with the shared goal of boosting student career development.      As an intern, Sanika assisted in business development initiatives for a  youth educational consulting group by conducting market research, analyzing  industry trends, and actively contributing to the successful execution of  various projects. In particular, Sanika pioneered the introduction of a new  curriculum focused on financial literacy and personal investing by engaging  stakeholders, collecting feedback, and thereby diversifying the company's  educational offerings. Furthermore, the company offered weekly workshops in  order to prepare students with the necessary skills to succeed in the  corporate world. Through this experience, Sanika gained valuable skills  including market research, financial literacy, value investing, fundamentals of excel, and e-commerce.    

Sanika grew up in Mississauga, Ontario and then moved to Oakville, where  she graduated from TL Kennedy Secondary School. In her spare time, she enjoys  trying new cuisines, reading, baking, and reading upon interesting news  topics.
