Could you give a brief explanation of your current line of work, and what has led you to it?

I recently graduated with my Ph.D. in accounting and am now working as an Accounting Professor. I was first introduced to the idea of this career path during the MAC program by Professor Joe Brazel – who has helped me navigate this path along the way!

How did your experience in your specific Poole Program at NC State contribute to your professional achievements and successes?

I was inspired by the faculty in the MAC program to work hard, learn as much as possible during my time in public accounting, and never close the door on potential opportunities.

What are your goals and plans for the future?

As an accounting professor, I hope to inspire and mentor students the same way I was inspired by the faculty at NC State.
