Bryce Cross鈥檚 career path has taken so many turns, it鈥檚 tempting to call him an 鈥榓ccidental鈥� accounting professor. When he鈥檚 at the front of the classroom, though, he鈥檚 so comfortable that it doesn鈥檛 seem accidental at all.

After high school, Bryce and a friend set off from Calgary to Saskatchewan to attend the Police Studies program in Regina. 鈥淎 buddy and I decided we were going to be cops,鈥� he says. It only took a week, he adds, to figure out it wasn鈥檛 for them. 鈥淪o, I ended up coming to Dal, following my high school girlfriend, and in true 18-year-old fashion, we split up.鈥�

The Faculty of Management was looking for lecturers

He loved Halifax and decided to stay and enroll at 新加坡六合彩开奖直播. Starting in an arts program, Bryce then switched to business, found he had a knack for accounting and graduated in 2018 with his Bachelor of Commerce.

The next part of his journey, he says, was to do what all the accounting professors suggested 鈥攇et a job at one of the big companies and study to become a chartered professional accountant (CPA). He became a CPA, but big company culture didn鈥檛 feel right, so he broke out on his own. He found that to be plain 鈥榖oring鈥� and discovered he missed having colleagues.

Bryce鈥檚 next move was to a mid-size firm, but before he had a chance to settle, he learned 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 was looking for people to teach in the Faculty of Management.

Ever since graduating, he says, 鈥淚 was TAing in finance, accounting, and so on. I think it was a total of 17 sections. I was tutoring as well any time I wasn鈥檛 TAing鈥�. With that experience in mind, he decided to apply. Surprised to get the job, he decided, 鈥渁lright, well, I guess this is what I do now.鈥�

鈥淗ow do I ensure everybody gets across the line here?鈥�

Even though he wasn鈥檛 much older than his students, Bryce says the hardest part wasn鈥檛 the content, but learning how to support the students on an emotional level.

He knows that 鈥渢hings aren't looking great for the young people鈥�, with a climate crisis and the economy. He felt he needed to get back into the student mindset and figure out how to help them at a key point in their lives. 聽

Emphatic that he wasn鈥檛 going to be a pushover, he says his biggest question was, 鈥淗ow do I ensure that we get everybody across the line here?鈥� adding he wants them to be successful.

The classroom feels like home

Bryce鈥檚 ability to nurture and help his students grow is evident in what he does at home. Interested in plants, he has a standing herb garden with 100 basil plants in his apartment. He also grows gourmet mushrooms and is particularly fond of shiitakes.

Having acquired a master鈥檚 degree, Bryce isn鈥檛 entirely convinced he鈥檚 going back to being a Ph.D. student just yet. All he knows is that, for now, the classroom feels like home. 聽
