Who would you like to thank for providing
support during your studies? My family
has always supported me and—true to
form—they were alongside me throughout
my pursuit of this designation (thank you
family!). I'm looking forward to giving back
to them by helping to raise awareness about
Rett Syndrome, a genetic disorder affecting
my precious niece Dana.
Who would you like to thank for providing
support during your studies? Most importantly, I want to thank my husband Cam for
his encouragement throughout the program
and for helping me to focus on the end goal
rather than the daily grind. I am also grateful for the love and support from my family.
Finally, I wish to thank the partners and senior staff at Langbroek Louwerse & Thiessen
LLP in Chilliwack for teaching me a great
deal about public practice and for facilitating my work experience.
What’s next? I really enjoy the interactive,
transactional nature of my current job, and
living and working so close to a natural playground is a great perk as well. I look forward
to many years of continued progress as a
professional accountant while pursuing my
personal goals and aspirations.
What’s next? I will continue to develop my
accounting skills, particularly in the real estate and construction sectors.
Employer &
position: LIFT Philanthropy Partners
Society; accountant.
Who would you like to thank for providing
support during your studies? I would like
to take this opportunity to thank my family,
my teachers, and my friends. Thank you all
for your help and encouragement during my
studies—I could not have done it without
you. I also want to express my gratitude to
my employer for all the great opportunities
and professional development I have had in
my position. Thank you!
What’s next? I will follow my passion, learn
new things, and continuously improve myself.
