Introduction
My name is Tania Knafelc born on January 4th, 1988. I attend the University of Guelph and I am majoring in Management Economics in Industry and Finance (MEIF) co-op program. I plan on graduating once I complete CIS*2050. In addition I plan on completing the Certified General Accounting (CGA) designation once I graduate. I am very excited about this course as computers are our future and the more experienced you are with computers can really help with time efficiency.

Personal Life
I was born in the Etobicoke General Hospital in Ontario. I have one brother who just got married last summer and one sister who is getting married this summer. My father was born in Slovenia and immigrated to Canada when he was only 17. My mother was born in Canada but her parents were also born in Slovenia and immigrated to Canada after the Second World War. I myself have never had the chance to visit Slovenia, but it is known for its beautiful and mountainous landscapes.

Education and Academic Career
As previously mentioned, I attend the University of Guelph and I am majoring in Management Economics in Industry and Finance (MEIF) co-op program. I have already completed two eight month work terms where I first worked for ClubLink as an Accounts Payable Associate. ClubLink is known for owning many golfing areas and resorts all over Ontario, Quebec and now even a couple in the States. I had the opportunity to help out with the many events that ClubLink helps organize such as the Johnny Bower's Charity Event at the King's Riding Golf Course. I met many famous athletes such as Wendel Clark and Dale Hawerchuk. In addition I got to work with the TSN man himself, Gord Miller.

My second work term was for the Toronto Transit Comission (TTC) where I worked as a Budgets and Reporting Assistant. Both positions were really great experiences and I am very glad I was able to work while learning as it gave me inside knowledge of whether I would actually enjoy working in the field I was studying in (luckily I did!). I do encourage anyone considering co-op, it's a great experience, great networking and getting paid while in school is always a plus!

Hobbies
I have many hobbies but it all depends on the season, because swimming indoors is just not the same as outside!

Summer

 * Swimming in any form of water i.e. beaches, pools, etc.
 * Tanning but only in the sun, I do not enjoy tanning beds or spray tans
 * Bike riding

Fall

 * Taking nice brisk walks outside in the fresh air
 * Bonfires

Winter

 * Making snowmans! It never gets old
 * Decorating the house and preparing for Christmas, it's a hobby in its own

Spring

 * Planting new flowers after the last frost
 * Getting ready for the summer, i.e. planning vacations to the cottage

Anytime
However, during any season I will always watch MOVIES!! My absolutely favourite thing to do :) my top 3 movies are:
 * 1) Titanic (don't make fun of me, it was the number one movie for 15 consecutive weeks!)
 * 2) Shutter Island
 * 3) Sex and the City
