I chose to pursue a degree in accounting my senior year in high school without even knowing what it consisted of. I realized after my first accounting class in college that I made the right decision. My teacher was very enthusiastic, and it radiated in the classroom. I never regretted my decision.
In May 2022, I am graduating with a Master of Arts, majoring in accounting from the University of Central Missouri. I am currently involved in Beta Alpha Psi and the National Society of Leadership and Success. I started an internship at Hood & Associates CPAs in January 2022 and am currently in the process of acquiring my CPA license. After my internship, I plan on joining Hood & Associates as a tax associate. As a future accountant, there is always something new to learn and I am excited to see what the future holds.
