About Me
A soon-to-be BBA Honours Graduate with experience in both AR/AP Accounting as well as Office Administration and Payroll Management. Passionate about making Microsoft Excel solve all my problems (or at least making them much more manageable). When I’m not making good numbers go up and bad numbers come down, I’m either hosting for my community in Toronto, exploring the international food scene or participating in local Magic the Gathering events.
