CFM student
Hometown: Toronto, Ontario

What I wish I had known as a first-year student: I wish I realized how fast it goes by and I wish I utilized the resources offered by the school. Make sure to:

  • Stay heathy: sleep early, eat balanced meals, and don’t get too stressed out
  • Network: make friends with your peers, upper years, and professors
  • Find a balance: university is more than just studying, so join clubs and sports teams, and participate in school/club events

Previous co-op terms:

  • Junior Financial Analyst, Haitong Securities
  • Analyst, Hay Group

What are your plans for the future? I have previously worked in consulting and finance and I am looking to gain experience in the technology industry in the near future.  After graduating, I plan to work in a company that is relevant in both the technology and financial industries, such as Bloomberg.  If possible, I would also like to create or join a startup company after working in the industry for a few years.

What are your hobbies or interests?

  • Singing
  • Making Music (Violin/Piano/Guitar)
  • Dance (Hip Hop/Breakdancing)
  • Watching Movies/TV
  • Playing Video Games
  • Swimming

Fun fact to know about me: I was originally in the AFM program during my first year.  However, I decided to pursue my interest in computer science and finance and switched into CFM at the beginning of my second year.
