A little about myself

I'm a fourth-year Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) student specializing in Accounting at the Sprott School of Business, Carleton University, currently working as a Tax Analyst on Deloitte's Global Employer Services team — delivering tax compliance and advisory for high-net-worth clients.

I plan to pursue my CPA designation through a master's program after graduating. Before Deloitte I ran day-to-day accounting for a high-end interior design firm, managing seven figures in revenue and expenses and payroll for 30 employees.

In my free time I enjoy researching financial markets, building personal software projects, and take part in student-led accounting initiatives such as free tax clinics and organizing Networking Events. On a more personal level, I love hiking, travel, skiing, and going to the gym.
