Summary

RE: BDO Posting #JR3248


As an aspiring CPA, and highly driven and responsible third year Business Administration student at Wilfrid Laurier University, I am interested in securing an opportunity where I can contribute positively to BDO while gaining knowledge and experiential learning. I have been fortunate to have interned as a student staff accountant for the past two summers at Freelandt Caldwell Reilly (FCR) LLP in Sudbury. I am looking to further progress the foundation that I have obtained through my public accounting experience and business courses. I pride myself in being highly organized and successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude.
