| On a vacation in New Zealand |
Having
worked in the audit and commercial line for four and five years respectively, I
thought “why not get more exposure from other industries and accounting
practice”? Timely enough, I was introduced to Orchan Consulting through a
mutual friend who found out Orchan was looking for an administrator.
Before
I walked through Orchan’s door on my first day, I couldn’t help but wonder what
the team was like; and how the addition of an administrator will affect the
company dynamic. Then, I realised there was nothing to worry about. The team
was quick to extend their welcome, giving me a sense of belonging; and it
turned out to be a fun place to work at where everyone cared for each other
like they were family.
I
believe that’s because Orchan offers an environment where learning and growing
professionally (and according to Christina, physically too, as they’ve attended
numerous client food reviews) without being judged. With that said, Orchan
became learning and growing ground for me, along with peers who are willing to
share their experience without the fear of “what if she knows more than I do”.
When
I’m not crunching numbers or ensuring everyone’s got their pay cheque (I’ve got
the power!), I enjoy gardening (because flowers are a lot less stressful than
numbers; though it doesn’t stress me all the time), crafting and sewing. I
enjoy listening to music and watching movies during my free time. I also love
to travel – wanderlust is hereditary (if I could visit New Zealand again soon,
I so would!).
Before
I conclude, let me share one of my favourite quotes from Alphonse Karr; “some
people grumble that roses have thorns; I am grateful that thorns have roses”. I’ve
always believed in staying positive in both action and thought, and it’s great
to finally be a part of a team that shares the same sentiment.
Until
next time!
