Background

About Ciara Glennane

I have dabbled, in high school, in accounting, and it always appealed to me. The older I got, and more life experience I gained, I couldn't help but keep going back to the idea of becoming an accountant. I moved to Vancouver in 2018 and absolutely fell in love with Canada and the life I built here. It seemed like my next move was obvious. To begin my studies in accounting here. I have no regrets about having a nursing qualification. I believe that having a multi-faceted skillset is always a benefit. It is particularly useful to be able to work under enormous pressure, to be able to communicate well, and to work well in a team. Time management is also a skill I pride myself on. I enjoyed being a nurse at home in Ireland. It was interesting, fast paced and rewarding. I loved caring for others, and I have always thrived in a team environment. I arrived home in Ireland during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic and got the opportunity to throw myself into a busy hospital environment. Although I was incredibly apprehensive I enjoyed the challenge and soon became accustomed to the new way of working. However, I had long realised that this career path did not fit into my future plan. Although I gained so many transferrable skills, I saw myself being more satisfied in a role in a business environment. I desired having autonomy over my decisions, and having an opportunity to progress. It's a thrilling concept to me, working in a corporate environment. I always thrive to learn more, see more, and I have no doubts that this is the right decision for me. I am looking forward with eager determination to this next phase of my life. I hope to be able to combine my new knowledge from my accounting course and past experience in nursing to allow me to be able to approach a role with a fresh outlook.
