CFA PROGRAM
With strong passion for Finance, I enrolled in CFA Program and passed CFA Level I in December 2015 on my first attempt. I am planning to write Level II in 2017.
Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA) credential is the globally recognized investment management designation in the world. It tests candidates' foundation of advanced investment analysis and real-world portfolio management skills. |
In order to get more exposure on Accounting and Finance networking events and extra-curricular activities:
I attended UVic Investment Group because of my keen interest in investment and finance. It turned out to be a great experience as it hosted lots of discussion events and info session like Investment Bank Info session.
After school, I also practice investing in the public market. Attending Montreal Option Trading Simulation was an amazing experience. It gave me an opportunity to use my analytical skills and therefore learn more about real world investment. Evisors provides neuromas high quality webinars that I can browse. I watched webinars related to Investment Banking and Private Equity when I have time. It gives a general view of finance which is helpful for new comers to Finance. |

In addition to Finance, I also attended Accounting networking events such as KPMG and CPA Firm Night event. I networked with CPAs from both the local firms and learned a lot from their career path in Accounting industry.
Besides Finance and Accounting, I tried to develop my soft skills at the same time. Thanks to COM 405, I was able to improve different skills. For example, I managed to step out of my comfort zone by applying the skills I learned from Meetings for Introverted Networking. Also, my LinkedIn profile improves a lot after the coaching meeting with Melissa.
