Why were you interested in becoming a CPA Campus Ambassador?

I saw this position as an opportunity to become a resource for my peers and to broaden my horizons.

Why have you chosen to pursue a career in accounting?

Accounting is a skillset that is relevant in any industry and age. The limitless opportunities for growth and learning were what sparked my interest in accounting.

What is one thing you wish people knew about accounting?

Accounting is unique in that it is not confined to your typical job description. The skills and knowledge you gain from your training open a plethora of opportunities and experiences one might not expect.

What is something people might be surprised to know about you?

I love to try new activities! This summer I explored everything from foraging, hiking, and golfing to even fishing.

If you could build your dream business overnight, what would it be?

I would create a restaurant that combines my passion for food and my love of nature. Alberta is home to various delicious mushrooms, berries, and vegetables that are lost amidst the countless aisles of the grocery store. Creating a sustainable and unique menu would provide new opportunities for a greener future.
