Big shoutout and thank you to our incredible interns Alley Poon, Myah Sachedina, and Leo Bridgewater wrapped up their internship experiences with us this past week! Here are some key takeaways they noted from their time with us: “My eight-month co-op at Bousfields has been everything I hoped for in a final internship! It’s been such a pleasure getting to know everyone, both on Team Lennox and across the firm, and to be part of an environment that values knowledge-sharing and building connections with one another beyond work. I’m incredibly thankful to everyone who took the time to teach, support, and get to know me throughout my internship. I’ve been able to reach goals I’d been working towards for a long time, and I truly appreciate the experience. I hope to see everyone again in the future!” - Alley Poon “My time at Bousfields has been extremely memorable and has helped me grow not only as an individual, but also as a planner. I am very grateful for the team of planners who taught, coached, and believed in me throughout the past 8 months. I’m proud of the goals I’ve accomplished during this time and the hard work that went into achieving them. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey; I’m excited to see where the rest of it takes me.” - Myah Sachedina “The eight months I have spent with Bousfields has been an extremely memorable experience. Everyone across the firm makes an incredible effort to ensure interns can thrive and challenge themselves throughout the various facets of the industry. It was incredible to work together this year, and I thank everyone across the firm for their support.” - Leo Bridgewater

Over the past couple of weeks, Bousfielders participated in some fun holiday events organized by our Goodworks and DEI Committees: 1. The Bousville Gingerbread Competition, with ‘Raise the Roost’ taking top prize, followed by GIMBY (Gingerbread in my Backyard), and Gingerdale. 2. The First Stop on our BOU Gourmand Series: I’m a Little Hot Crab, where we tried Singaporean chili crab, widely regarded as Singapore’s national seafood dish. What a great way to start the holiday season off with our Bousfielder family!
