About
Hi 👋
You moved all the way to a new country, here is your flower 🌹
I moved to Canada in 2019 as an immigrant to do my master’s degree in finance. Five months after graduation, I landed my first job as a Mortgage Associate/Client Experience Coordinator—a role that was created just for me while volunteering with a business group. Not long after, I secured another finance role, increasing my salary by $10k. Since then, I’ve helped others achieve similar success.
You are in the right place if;
↳You are an immigrant.
↳You are looking to land a finance role.
↳You want to transition from one finance role to another.
↳You’re not sure where to start in your finance job search.
How I can support you:
- Resume Audit
- Combo Package: Resume Audit + Interview Preparation + Networking via LinkedIn
Values: SERVE
↳Simplicity
↳Excellence
↳Real
↳Value
↳Exchange
I’m committed to supporting you on this journey.

Engaged in a series of corporate tours organized by the SOBEY School of Business, providing unique opportunities to connect and network with business leaders from various fields, including finance professionals at KPMG and MUFG, as well as executives in the hospitality industry such as White Point Beach Resort. These experiences also allowed for my involvement in brainstorming sessions to address challenges faced by entrepreneurs in their respective businesses, enabling me to give back in my own way. -
