I chose accounting because I wanted to understand how cash moves through a business. At my family’s deli, keeping cash records and checking stock levels were part of the day’s work. Studying accounting helps me understand that side of a business more fully.
I have a particular interest in tax. I’m in the BCom Accounting co-op stream and intend to pursue the Canadian CPA designation. I’d like to explore tax further through study and practical experience.
A few parts of my background, with more context than fits on a résumé.
Jun 2025 – Aug 2025 · Toronto, Ontario
Customer Service Representative
I joined the opening team at a new Paris Baguette location in Toronto in 2025. Alongside processing cash and card payments, I helped Korean-speaking customers understand the products.
Most of my coworkers had limited Korean fluency, so switching between Korean and English was a practical part of helping customers communicate with the team.
Sep 2022 – May 2024 · Incheon, South Korea
At-Sea Military Interpreter & Operational Briefing Specialist
During my service in the Republic of Korea Navy, I maintained Situation Reports and helped prepare operational briefing materials for duty-officer review. Those records supported reporting through the command chain during naval operations.
I also interpreted between Korean and English during vessel repairs with U.S. engineers and served as a linguist in Korea–France joint operations. For approximately six months, I was a Barracks Room Leader, helping resolve peer conflicts and coordinate shared duties and resources.
Feb 2022 – Aug 2022 · Jeju-si, South Korea
Store Manager
At my family’s deli in Jeju-si, I checked the till every day against prior-day cash and store records, looking for discrepancies or missing entries. I also coordinated stock with managers at other locations to help prevent shortages.
I suggested a seven-day price promotion and set up a Naver Band group to share daily specials. These efforts contributed to approximately 10% higher monthly sales, recorded through the POS system, compared with the previous month.
