About

I have learned many lessons while working and going to school. One, is that you can never stop learning if you set your mind to it, and you will never know everything so always keep an open mind and willingness to learn. Two, is that you should always treat your staff/employees like family, employees that are given resect and treated like family will work like a family and give that respect back. I have recently completed a 3 Business-Accounting Program at Niagara College (2022) with that, I have taken Psychology, Canadian Law and Canadian Income Tax I and II. I also have diplomas in Medical Office and Cosmetology. I think that with the combination of education and employment experience, it has prepared me greatly for my future and future goals.
