What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, teamwork, and impactful contributions.

As a dedicated accounting student at Douglas College, I have honed my skills in leadership, teamwork, and analytical thinking through various roles in both academic and professional settings. My experience as a Student Assistant has allowed me to support fellow students in their academic journeys while managing events that foster community engagement. I take pride in my ability to balance multiple responsibilities effectively, ensuring that all tasks are completed with attention to detail and within deadlines.

Previously, I worked as a Customer Transaction Officer at Zenith Bank PLC, where I advised clients on cash management strategies and maintained high levels of customer satisfaction. My role as an Auditor at PKF Financial Advisors further developed my analytical skills, as I conducted audits for various entities, ensuring compliance and identifying areas for improvement. I am passionate about leveraging my skills in a challenging accounting role that allows for professional growth and contribution to team success.
