I’m in my fifth (and final!) year of Capilano University’s Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) program, concentrating in Accounting. I’ll be continuing on to become a Certified Professional Accountant (CPA) and work in cross-border tax.

 I’m currently the President of the Enactus Capilano team, and have had some of the best moments of my life with my teammates. Some highlights of my almost three years on the team include volunteering as a presenter at the regional and national competitions, facilitating workshops to teach high school students about financial literacy, and working on creating our new sustainability project.

Alongside my education and volunteering, I have been fortunate to have had several . I had the opportunity to intern at Solomon Tax Services one summer and worked as a Peer Mentor for the ePortfolio initiative throughout my second year at Capilano University, which is what led to the creation of this website and my inconsistent posting patterns.

I am currently working full-time as a co-op student at DMCL, officially termed a US Tax Co-op but unofficially working in cross-border tax (!). It still sometimes feels like a dream to have the opportunity to get experience in the exact position I’m hoping to have a career in, and I couldn’t ask for a more amazing team to be my introduction to the professional accounting world.

Before Covid I had big trip plans, inspired by my biggest trip to date–New York at the beginning of twelfth grade. I had the opportunity to view some of my favourite artwork at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, explore the Big Apple, and see a live Broadway play (we caught Wicked, which was certainly wicked!). I learned so much about myself and life with no one to influence me but myself, and I grew a desire to see the different lifestyles people lead around the world.

I have also visited Los Cabos, Mexico; Las Vegas; Los Angeles; and Universal Studios in both Hollywood and Orlando; I have not, however, left North America yet. I hope to one day visit every continent and have a chance to experience life from every corner of the world, but for now remain in place and masked up.
