STEFAN TEISLER
BOOKKEEPER
Hello, I’m Stefan! I have a degree in Mathematics from the University of Guelph, and am very excited to be able to put my love of numbers to good use. I also enjoy coding and working with computers.
In my free time, one of my favourite things to do is play music. I mainly play piano, violin and guitar, but I will try any instrument that I can find. When I’m listening to music instead, I usually choose opera. My favourite composer is Richard Wagner.
The last thing I’ll say about myself is that I’m actually pretty good at cooking too. I’ve worked in restaurants before and went to culinary school before this. I used to volunteer for every Thursday meal with the Guelph Catholics at the Newman Centre, and I continue to cook on a smaller scale as much as I can.
Thank you for reading, and I look forward to talking with you soon!
