A Career Sparked by Curiosity
I didn’t expect to enjoy my first business class in high school; it was a friend who convinced me to take it. But what started as a reluctant course selection quickly turned into a passion for accounting. That early curiosity stayed with me through university, and it was during my co-op placements, especially my eight-month term at HW Partners, that I truly saw how fulfilling a career in this field could be.
A Bit About My Journey
After graduating from the University of Ottawa with an Honours Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting in 2020, I joined HW Partners full-time in 2021. I earned my CPA designation in 2023 and completed my Certified Fraud Examiner designation in 2022 to enhance my understanding of financial integrity and risk management. Today, I work on a wide variety of engagements, from audits and reviews to tax compliance for both for-profit businesses and not-for-profit organizations.
What Matters to Me
I value clarity, structure, and meaningful collaboration, whether I’m working on a complex audit or mentoring one of our co-op students. The support I received early in my career shaped my experience, and I’m committed to paying that forward by helping the next generation of professionals find their footing and confidence in the field.
Life Outside the Office
Outside of work, I enjoy staying active, spending time with family and friends, and continuing to learn—both personally and professionally. I’m always looking for new ways to grow, which is what inspired me to pursue the CFE designation.
