About Poornima

I have successfully finished three semesters in the Master of Professional Accounting course. The areas I have studied include Financial Accounting, Management Accounting, Business Statistics, Business Law, Finance, Accounting Information Systems, Strategic Management Accounting and Auditing & Assurance. These units had self- reflective exercises to develop higher lever thinking and metacognitive learning through retrospection. Additionally, there were team projects requiring critical analysis of real life case studies, individual reports, research and media releases.
I developed strong team work skills by learning to collaborate with a diverse set of people from different cultural backgrounds, to overcome differences efficiently and effectively in achieving project deadlines and creating innovatiove workable solutions. This was all possible by effective communication, respect and understanding that transcended barriers which I honed in this course. Time management is another skill I have highly developed as I not only served as the Caulfield campus representative for the Monash Postgraduate Association but also volunteered as a retail sales assistant at a Red Cross Op-shop, worked as a note-taker for Monash Disability Support Services, hosted events on campus and mentored new postgraduates. For a short while, I was also part of a community sustainability group where I lived.
My rewarding journey at Monash would not have been possible if not for the glue that held it all together; perseverance, discipline and the hardwork I put in each day.
