Ms. Kelly Ann Traboulay is a paradox! Kelly is an Accountant, a Management professional, and a local artist with her own unique sense of style.
Kelly attended St Joseph’s Convent, St. Joseph from 1991-1998. Her time at St. Joseph’s Convent, St. Joseph had a deep influence on her future career path, with her love for Accounting being inspired by Mrs. Angela Lewis in Form 4 accounting classes (Accounting was love at first debit and credit). Her fondest memories include many of the wonderful experiences shared with her convent sisters in the grotto and the Form 6 wing (as with every convent girl, we got up to all kinds of mischief).
Kelly holds a Master’s degree in Business Administration from Heriot Watt University, is a Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, and a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Trinidad and Tobago.
As a Finance professional, Kelly has over 15 years of international and local experience in both the Financial Services and Property Development sectors. Kelly also has over 13 years’ experience as a Lecturer, delivering accounting and business related courses at both Student Accountancy Centre and School of Business and Computer Studies Ltd. for professional and degree programs such as ACCA, ABE, and the MBA from Edinburgh Business School, Heriot Watt University.
In 2017 Kelly was appointed as the General Manager of Canning’s Employees’ Credit Union, Co-operative Society Limited, an organisation that is over 67 years old and boasts of an asset base of over $370m. This Credit Union industry is member-centric, and genuinely seeks to help people. This member-centric approach has always been a passion for Kelly.
In the very same year, Kelly launched her own business ‘KAT Designz’. Kelly has always loved abstract art, especially mandalas and zentangles, and through her business she has introduced this unique segment of art to the world. KAT Designz is all about “making everyday items classic pieces of art”.
Three years later, Kelly continues to combine creativity, logic, and passion for helping others; diligently leading the efforts of her team towards keeping CECU steady during the COVID-19 pandemic, whilst also growing KAT Designz.
Most recently, KAT Designz has expanded to cater to international markets, and has also launched the newest product line ‘Original Canvas Art by KAT Designz’.
You can follow Kelly via her KAT Designz social media pages.
Keep reaching for the stars!
