Cadet CPO2 Ielyzaveta Berezovska
350 RCSCC Transcona

Cadet CPO2 Ielyzaveta Berezovska will be attending the University of Waterloo this Fall to become an actuarial analyst. She wishes to use statistics and logic to examine the probability of future events and manage financial strategy. Through Waterloo's co-op program, she is able to alternate academic semesters with full time work terms and earn career experience while she is still enrolled in university.

She served as the Training Petty Officer of her Corps responsible for making schedules and managing sports nights. This was challenging due other extracurricular activities. She received the Legion Cadet Medal of Excellence for her efforts. Her experiences at summer training camps greatly shaped her leadership. She attended HMCS Quadra for the basic seamanship course, and later was an IT staff cadet. She attended Vernon for introduction to marksmanship. These and a recent seamanship deployment broadened her perspective and enhanced her ability to communicate and mentor others. She is currently serving as a CPO2 and the Regulating Petty Officer of her Corps.

Her community involvement has developed her leadership skills. In Junior Achievement she designed and illustrated a Winnipeg themed colouring book, helping her “company” win Manitoba's Company of the Year. She was a member of her school's student council and participated in the Canadian Ethics Bowl. She was co-president for the Education for Sustainable Development club and participated in the Youth Aid Society club. She has volunteered as a teen mentor at Boys & Girls Club, Winnipeg and currently works as a Kumon tutor.

She believes that physical fitness is essential for personal and leadership development, due to the innate connection between the body and mind. Her routine has consisted of strength training with weights, alongside biking. She is applying for the Canadian Armed Forces ROTP, and has been preparing by simulating the FORCE evaluation test.
