Welcome to Digital Nova Scotia, Mac!

Welcome to Digital Nova Scotia, Mac!

Please give a warm welcome to Mac Bagnell, a student from Dalhousie University who will be joining Digital Nova Scotia this fall! Currently studying at Dalhousie University completing a Bachelor of Commerce Degree and majoring in Marketing, Mac is on his second Co-op work term, working with Digital Nova Scotia as a Project Coordinator. He’s looking forward to learning new skills and is excited to work with an amazing group of people, in a fast-moving industry. In his pastime, Mac works on a clothing brand that he plans to release soon, enjoys socializing with friends, and going on little adventures around the province. The tech sector in Nova Scotia is thriving, what are you most looking forward to about working in this industry? Is there a particular area in tech that excites you the most? Helping businesses find the services that they are looking for. I also am thrilled to be working with such an amazing group of people! What do you love most about your program at University? So far, I am starting my third year at Dalhousie University, completing my Bachelor of Commerce. What I love most about this program is the diverse range of classes that are offered. I am very passionate about creating my own business. What’s something you’re passionate about that might surprise us? Currently, I am working on a clothing brand that I hope to launch next month! If you were given a plane ticket to anywhere in the world, where would you want it to be? I would definitely visit New Zealand and travel around the country.
