Summary
Dedicated student at Lincoln University, Canterbury pursuing a Master of Professional Accounting (CPA) with significant achievements in my academic journey. Successfully completed Diploma in Business with a major in Accounting in 2016, earning the prestigious In-Country Award Scholarship. Recently graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Business, specializing in Accounting, in May 2018. Honored with a Merit Scholarship of 10% of tuition fees for two semesters. Recognized as a recipient of the B&R Associate Merit Award for High Achievement by a Pasifika Graduate in the Bachelor in Business Program during graduation ceremony.

These challenges fueled my determination to achieve academic success and support my family financially through earned awards and scholarships.
