Felista Karanja

“I wanted to learn while still have a taste of the professional life that I was aspiring to get into after school.  PACE was this school for me,” says Felista Karanja, who graduated from UWinnipeg PACE’s Project Management Diploma in 2019. Felista previously earned a BA in International Relations and an MA in Peace and Conflict Studies.

“Honestly, I have been in three different universities but I cannot compare my experience at PACE with any other. I learned so much in a very short period. My professional skills were sharpened and the standard of my work has improved greatly,” she says.

Felista says PACE prepared her for her current role as an Associate Project Consultant by creating a professional environment throughout the program. With courses in resume building and the Career Hub, along with lunch hour seminar with alumni and working professionals, Felista says she was ready to face the job market after graduation.

In her work Felista’s responsibilities include, but are not limited to, coordinating project communication within three project streams, updating project documents, submitting status reports, monitoring risks, and updating the project schedule.

“Striving to deliver high quality work at all times has now become my motto. Also, the soft skills that I learned while at PACE are invaluable. These skills have been beneficial even in my current role working as part of a diverse project team,” she says.

Felista’s advice for others considering studying at UW PACE, “Go for it, it is worth it!”
