Ciara values continuous learning and a culture that celebrates individuality. She has developed expertise in the retail sector while thriving in a supportive environment that encourages collaboration and inclusion.  

KPMG gives you the space to be yourself while learning from every experience.”

Beyond her audit responsibilities, Ciara actively contributes to team morale through social initiatives and volunteering, reinforcing her belief that growth happens both inside and outside the office. 

“For me, making a difference at KPMG means creating an impact beyond my own work,” Ciara shares. “Whether it’s mentoring new joiners, contributing to inclusive networks, or delivering audits that build trust, I know my efforts matter. Every opportunity at KPMG, big or small, helps me grow while helping others succeed. That’s what makes this journey meaningful.”
