What is the best part of your job?
Two main things.  For one thing, the people I work with are great – they’re smart, work hard and make the workplace fun.  The work is also interesting, as both the work environment and the market is pretty dynamic.  So to deal with those changes on a constant basis is pretty interesting.

Challenges (the most difficult incident you have dealt in your work):
My job is constant learning and problem solving.  Given my role of providing reports to various individuals, trying to provide exactly what they want can be a challenge.  At the same time, trying to improve processes and increase efficiencies is also challenging, especially when specific time constraints are considered.

My Education:
When did you complete your CMA program? Summer of 2007
Other Degree(s):
School:  Graduated from Simon Fraser University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics.  I also participated in the Co-operative Education Program – a big bonus because it gave me relevant work experience prior to graduating.
Lifestyle: I like to keep busy
Favorite recreational activity:  Playing Basketball and bowling are the best.
Upcoming Vacation plans:  I’ll be in the Philippines for a month visiting family – should be great fun and a great break from the weather here!

My future:
In five years, I see myself (both professionally and personally):
Professionally –  Having an increased role within the company.  More experience will allow the possibility of greater responsibilities.
