Originally from Mexico, Mirna Sainz-Gomez landed her role as Marketing Specialist for StandardAero just as the COVID-19 pandemic was declared in mid-March 2020.

Prior to this, Mirna landed a role as Events, Marketing and Communications Coordinator at the ALS Society of Manitoba following an internship with the organization before working full-time as an interpreter, while hunting for her dream job in the aerospace industry.

She chose PACE because it was exactly what she was looking for. “It’s a one-year diploma, at a recognized university in North America, and with affordable student fees,” said Mirna.

Mirna found that her Public Relations, Marketing and Strategic Communication Management Diploma opened doors for her in the field of communications in Canada. In addition to the program being well-recognized in the job market, it gave her solid tools and real connections to gain employment.

“I really enjoyed studying at PACE,” says Mirna. “It exceeded my expectations. This one-year program offered me the perfect mix of education. It was an updated 360-degree communications overview, with a high-level of English writing, offered by great instructors.”

As an international student, she found this full-time program to be ideal for what she needed.

“I was fully immersed in an intensive training and learning process on how communications and marketing currently work to help business grow in very competitive markets,” says Mirna. “When you are serious in taking your career to the next level in the international job market, PACE is definitely an option to consider. Going back to school helped me reconnect with my passion for communications and to take a step ahead in my professional career.”

"Most of my school projects at PACE were about the aerospace industry dreaming of one day working there," says Mirna, who as a lifelong lerner pursued further credentials with an online Masters in Aerospace and Airport Management to help her succeed. "I love school!"
