Our business alumni pursue many different types of opportunities and Mitchell is no exception. Mitchell is applying his business skills to his passion for the arts, alongside his friend, business partner, and wife, Sancia.

Brayden Boerchers

Class of 2017
Business Account Manager
Apple Inc.

One of Brayden’s Ambrose highlights was competing in Vivacity, a collaborative challenge with students from all of Calgary’s universities. In his blog on the experience, he talks about team dynamics and incorporating different opinions, offering that “the easy part was building a plan around an idea and pitching it to the judges – the hard part was actually getting to that idea.” Brayden continued to use his abilities to plan and collaborate after graduation as a researcher with Ambrose’s Canadian Poverty Institute. Meanwhile, Brayden joined Apple as a sales specialist, moving quickly to his current role as a business account manager.

Kristina Noton (Siemens)

After graduating from Ambrose business, Kristina advanced quickly in the insurance industry: first a customer service representative, then a claims adjuster, and now an insurance broker.
