Q. What do you like most about Telfer?

A. I like how Telfer feels like a community. Everyone at Telfer is very kind and helpful to one another. Telfer also has a calm working environment which helps while working/studying.

Q. What would be your ideal job?

A. I actually have two ideal jobs (I will be happy with either)…

            1. Partner at a public accounting firm

            2. Director for the government (ex. CRA)

Q. Who has been the biggest inspiration in your life?

A. My parents are my biggest inspiration. Seeing them work hard my whole life (English is not their first language) has pushed me to do the same.
