Students and young professionals are facing barriers, uncertainty, biases, changing priorities as they navigate the school to work transition. Their collective stories have inspired me and now I want to share these stories with you.

My guest today is Kendra Carey (she/her/hers). Kendra is attending Western University with a focus on Business Management and Organizational Studies with an Honors Specialization in Accounting and is expected to graduate in December 2021. After graduation she will be commencing her Graduate Diploma in Accounting at Western in pursuit of her CPA designation. Kendra is currently a Financial Analyst Intern with RBC and likes to spend her time reading, writing, and watching old movies. During her time at RBC, Kendra has gotten involved with CFO Pride, where she has started a blog called the Rainbow Journal. Prior to her role at RBC, she has worked mainly in journalism, being a news editor at her university newspaper and hosting a radio show in her hometown of Drumheller, Alberta. A few fun facts about Kendra is that she can play the violin and is probably the world’s biggest Harry Potter fan.

I had the chance to sit down to talk Journalism, leadership and mental health with Kendra Carey and I am happy to share our conversation with you, Enjoy!
