What do you like about Accounting? I was initially planning to go into finance, but after taking my entry-level accounting courses at UW Madison, I was more drawn to accounting. I enjoy the constant-learning aspect and the large amounts of subjectivity in what is perceived to be such an objective profession. I believe that being able understand accounting as the language of business can be beneficial for any business profession.
Impactful UW experience: I worked as the Vice-President of Finance for the Wisconsin Evans Scholars. I believe that was my first eye-opening experience for putting what I had learned in school into actual practice.
Goal(s) for after graduation? I am currently looking at Master’s Programs to further my education after graduation. After, I plan to become a CPA in Chicago or somewhere in the Midwest.
Interests? I enjoy being outside, playing basketball, and golfing.
Favorite Book, Movie, or Podcast? My favorite movie is Inception, but I also really enjoy Mob movies like The Godfather and Goodfellas.
