About Me

I am excited to be part of the mentorship program because of my previous experience of being a mentee, which I found really helped in better focusing on my professional development while I was at UTM. With about six years of work experience in both Audit and Capital Markets, I feel this is the right time to share some of my industry experience and insight with students to help guide them in their career choice. I am looking forward to connect with a mentee that is eager to learn and from which I can learn a thing or too as well.
