Before that, between 2008 and 2014, she was corporate controller at High Street Equity Advisors, where her responsibilities included treasury management, corporate operations, human resource management, accounting, auditing and reporting.

In previous roles, Chew has served as an accounting manager and treasurer for Northland Investment Corporation, where she oversaw treasury management, cash management and accounting operations for both residential and commercial properties. She also served as an associate at PricewaterhourseCoopers LLP between 2004 and 2006.
