At 22, Tasha Matthew has held two Bachelors * in business and management since June. After growing up in Colombier and obtaining her ES bac at the LPO in 2014, she went to study in Montreal at the John Molson School of Business.
In addition to her taste for the economy and the social, she is very fluent in English and therefore plans to continue her studies in international business. It is towards Canada that his choice is made: "I wanted to see something else, to learn differently and in a language other than French". She compares French business schools to those in Montreal and is won over by the “practical side of the John Molson School of Business teaching style”. If it is a public school, the tuition fees are not negligible (approximately 20 euros for four years). She cannot count on a scholarship since she is abroad. It is therefore his parents who finance his studies as well as his life there (apartment, food etc.). This does not mean that it does not participate in the costs. It accumulates professional experience, while being legally limited to 000 hours of weekly work. In the end, between classes, jobs, internships (including the last one in Mexico) and volunteering, her schedule was very busy but she held on and never regretted. “I was lucky to be in a great city and to have integrated well from the start. I met my best friends there from the first weeks of integration, ”says the young girl currently on vacation on her island. In the end, his greatest difficulty was that of all the students in the world: learning to manage his time, to balance it between lessons and his external obligations.
Tasha recently discovered the association of former students from Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy. "Their initiative is very important for those who leave but also for those who stay on the island in order to create a support and mutual aid network to participate in the development of our island". For now Tasha plans to stay in Montreal where she will start working for IBM as an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) consultant.
This does not prevent him from keeping in the back of his mind the plan to return one day to work in Saint-Martin or to contribute in one way or another to his economic development. “We students who have gone abroad and to mainland France, we are privileged. Not only financially but also academically. It should not be forgotten. Our duty as Saint-Martinois is to contribute to the reduction of certain inequalities on the territory ”concludes Tasha.
