The role and the team attracted me to Deloitte. Knowing that I was finally able to take my career to the next level, and work with such a knowledgeable and dynamic team was exciting.

What else have your been involved with since joining Deloitte?
When I joined Deloitte I had recently finished my two year Chairperson Position within the Bermuda’s Emerging Professionals (BEPRO) organisation; becoming the 2015 Advisor. This organisation gave me the opportunity to learn how to manage two full time jobs, executing events and workshops and providing successful networking opportunities to emerging and established professionals. I was also completing my Postgraduate Certification in Human Resource Management (December 2015) with future hopes of completing my Master’s.
What is Deloitte’s role in your longer term career goals?
I really enjoy Deloitte as a firm and the potential career growth within Talent. Deloitte’s role in the longer term is to continue providing me with growth opportunities and the autonomy to be creative and implement new ideas.
