I recently graduated from USC as a double major in Accounting and Business Administration with a minor in Applied Analytics. This fall I’ll be returning to USC to pursue two master’s degrees in Accounting and Applied Data Science. I appreciate how accounting is critical to the economy and to the financial success of companies. I love using accounting to support others. I’m certified for the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA), where I provide free tax preparation to people at USC and in the local community. I’m a member of Beta Alpha Psi, CalCPA, and AICPA. I’ve served as an accounting and business ambassador for USC undergrad admissions, and I mentor accounting students. I’m a small group leader in the Asian American Christian Fellowship. As a former Scripps National Spelling Bee finalist, I enjoy using my lifelong passion for literacy to tutor students and promote education by volunteering for the Los Angeles County Scripps Spelling Bee. I interned in audit at PricewaterhouseCoopers and in finance at Raytheon Technologies. I plan to become a CPA and pursue a career in public accounting.
