Yana Krivykh
Yana Krivykh, winner of the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants BCom (Hons) Scholarship, says accounting has always had a certain appeal.
"My family owns a car company in Russia, so I've always been interested in the way a business works."
The 22-year-old is in the final semester of her Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) and has just been offered an auditing job at PricewaterhouseCoopers, where she completed a summer internship.
"A summer internship is a really good way to go, it's almost guaranteed to give you a full-time position," she explains.
Winning the $5,000 scholarship—just one of several generous graduate scholarships available through the Business School—came as a complete surprise, but Yana is pleased that all her hard work has paid off.
