What do you like most about your role?
It allows my brain to be constantly ticking. Working with figures is one of my strengths, and a lot of computations are done within the Tax Department.

What attracted you to Deloitte?
The workplace environment - it is a great place to work!

Describe your day to day role
Working in the Tax Department allows me to communicate with clients. I must have accurate information when doing corporate tax returns and individual tax returns. There is a specific process that must be followed from the start to the end of a tax return. This process along with due diligence reveals whether a company or individual has taxes to pay or if they are entitled to a refund from the authorities.

What else have your been involved with since joining Deloitte?
I have been the team lead for the past 2 years for Impact Day Beach clean ups. I have worked with the International Coastal Clean Up organization and was the Site Captain for a beach clean up at Balandra Beach. Also, I have captained the local Deloitte cricket team and have done other voluntary work with the Habitat for Humanity Trinidad and Tobago. 

What is Deloitte’s role in your longer term career goals?
Deloitte has been a learning forum where I have been able to gain new skills and develop other areas. The knowledge gained allows me to be better at what I do and prepares me for future professional growth.

What have you enjoyed most?
The learning process has been exceptional and I cannot ask for anything better.
