After enjoying his work life in New Zealand and South Korea, he is now taking another step in his career by working as an auditor in Sydney. He specialises in financial statement audit, internal controls audit, and compliance audit. While in New Zealand, Tyler enjoyed exploring the Middle Earth, and his hobbies include camping, running, and meeting new people.
Can you tell us a bit about what you studied at UC and what you are up to now?
As a former student at UC, I specialised in accounting and taxation law. From a young age, I aspired to pursue a career as an auditor. After completing my studies, I obtained my chartered accountancy certification, and I am currently working towards becoming the world's number one auditor.
What memory stands out to you from your time at UC?
I was one of the students who visited the foundry for the first time. It was built when I was in my last year of school. I have fond memories of occasionally dozing off right in front of the building. The tranquillity of those moments made for some truly restful sleep. I wonder how the place looks now.
What is your favourite thing about where you live?
The weather in Sydney is undeniably lovely, while the weather in New Zealand is definitely cooler.
Is there any advice you would give fellow alumni who have moved to your area?
Australia and New Zealand share similarities but also have distinct differences. If you're contemplating a move, please consume more L&P in New Zealand. We have Woolies, we have L&P, but they are very expensive!
