Nicole started with KPMG in May as a co-op student. She spent her first rotation in Enterprise, followed by an audit rotation in the Industrial Markets group. Nicole had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of clients this summer and learned a lot.
During her spare time she enjoys playing sports, hanging out with friends, and travelling. In September 2012, she is going on exchange to Mannheim, Germany and plans to do as much travelling as possible. Nicole's favourite part of the summer was getting to know all of the interns, especially at the social events.
In a nutshell, it was a summer that she will never forget!

Shawn started at KPMG in early May as a co-op student. His first rotation was in audit on FIRES, and his second rotation was in enterprise. Since moving to downtown Vancouver for work, Shawn has used his fitness reimbursement to join a brazilian ju-jitsu class and spent his weekends snowboarding on the glacier at Blackcomb.
The part of the summer that Shawn enjoyed most was meeting and working with all the accounting students from UBC, SFU, and Queen's on all the summer intern "special projects".
