Post-Graduation Journey
I work as staff accountant where I assist my team with the preparation of tax returns, financial statement audits, and financial forecasts for our clients. We primarily serve clients involved in projects utilizing federal and state incentive programs, including renewable energy tax credits (RETCs), new markets tax credits (NMTCs), and historic rehabilitation tax credits (HTCs). I provide support on a range of services including tax compliance, audit procedures, and financial modeling related to these credit programs. In addition to working in the finance industry, I am pursuing my MBA which I will earn in the spring of 2026.
Staying Close to Campus
My brother is currently attending Mount Union and will be a junior this coming fall semester. I also keep up with Mount Union's Instagram page to stay updated on campus events and what's new. In addition, I still have some friends in the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity from when I was a student and I visit them, along with my brother, from time to time. I love Mount Union because it provided me with an incredible opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and discover who I am. I formed some of my closest and most meaningful friendships at Mount Union, along with building lifelong professional and personal connections.
Career Goals to Achieve
One goal I would like to accomplish, in addition to obtaining my Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license, is to ultimately work my way up to the position of partner at my accounting firm. Becoming a partner represents the pinnacle of achievement in the firm, and I am deeply committed to working hard, continuously developing my skills, and contributing meaningfully to my organization. While I am still in the early stages of my career, I believe this is a strong long-term goal and a meaningful milestone to strive toward.
