In first year, I wish I knew more about sequence changing and course planning, so that I would not struggle with course selections each term to find out which ones were offered and which ones were not.

Involvement outside the classroom: I have volunteered for March Open House.

I enjoy...

  • Learning languages
  • Playing the guitar and piano
  • Jogging with my dog
  • Travelling

Favourite place to study: In the Davis Centre or at home

Favourite place to eat in Waterloo: William's Fresh Cafe

Favourite or most recent co-op work term: I was employed as an IT I was working as a research analyst for ZUIG. As the Research Analyst, my responsibilities included researching target company and industry's information, tracking and updating relevant government policies, and assisting in making proposal presentation slides. My supervisor was a really great mentor who would have weekly meetings with her interns to give feedback and provide us with hands-on researching strategies to improve our efficiencies.

Plans for life after CFM: As a saying goes, "Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans". I do not have any big goals that I must achieve by the time of graduation. I wish I could find a decent job, complete my CFA program, and go travelling, etc.
