The Accountant – Business as Usual?  –  Spring 2020 (MIA Publication)
I am… an Aquarius, Generation Y, who gets bored easily and always up for new adventures. Somewhat resistant to change but I try to always face a challenge with a smile. 
My role at MIA is…titled as ‘Technical Officer’ which I am still discovering to this day - since joining MIA starting in November last year.
This role requires me to be involved in various aspects of the Institute including; helping members on technical queries, coordinate and challenge committee members appointed on the MIA Audit & Assurance, Ethics, Financial Services and Gaming Committees - to ensure that these follow the objectives for the year as well as be responsive to feedback required from us as an accountancy body, give my input during conferences such as public speaking; collating of questions & also some marketing as to ensure that the event happening is shared on our social media platforms. Last but not least, I am in charge of the coordination of this journal, starting from the theme, chasing authors and advertisers as well as ensuring that the issue published is in line with the MIA strategy. Hence, never a dull moment!
I am motivated… some days more than other, including the times when I appreciate how rewarding it is to tackle a technical query which I have never encountered before and also when an event or a project which we have been working on is concluded and members, (mostly my friends ), give a positive feedback on the latest initiatives.
To me the Accounting profession …is literally my life; it started from sitting nervously for my O-level exam in accounting after studying the subject privately for one year, continued with two exciting years at St Aloysius college, studying ACCA - which one could say was my University life and as from the age of 20 I have been working in and spend most of my hours focused on the challenges and perks of the profession.
My life motto…”You only live once” -  better said than done but whenever I feel overstressed I try to remind myself that we only have one life to live so we should live it the way we like.
In my free time…I love dancing salsa and bachata (which I have been lacking lately) and love travelling; I would usually know the days when public holidays are allocated for the year by heart, as I tend to plan my travel around such, due to my passion of planning and experiencing different cultures.
I contribute to MIA’s mission…as a result of my daily responsibilities and by consistently listening to what our members have to say as to ensure engagement of the member base more than ever.
