Staffordshire UniversityAccounting and FinanceMy future career plans are centered on building a strong foundation in accounting and finance, with a key goal of attaining the ACCA certification to enhance my expertise in global financial standards. As someone born and raised in the UAE with Filipino roots, I have had the privilege of a multicultural upbringing that has shaped my worldview.
