He has been interested in the field of accounting and finance since 2006 and hopes to pursue the CA designation after graduation. Daivik hopes to use his previous experiences with UWAC and other planning committees, to help lead the conference’s continued expansion, and work with the whole team to create an unparalleled conference experience.

The life-long friendships to be formed and the additional lessons to be learned are incentive enough to return for another year of UWAC without a single regret. As Marva Collins once said, “Success doesn’t come to you … you go to it.” Having witnessed the successes that were both UWAC 2009 and UWAC 2010, this is an adage Corina strongly believes in. Hence, she is prepared to go the distance, to take action and to move towards the success that she anticipates UWAC 2011 to be.
