Why were you interested in becoming a CPA Campus Ambassador?

I have always had a huge interest in student group involvement, and I found that being a CPA Campus Ambassador would help me continue to pursue that.

What are you looking forward to most about becoming a CPA Campus Ambassador?

This year I’m looking forward to being creative in reaching my colleagues virtually. Finding a way to keep the students engaged and informed about CPA opportunities, information, and events during this pandemic will be interesting and quite a challenge.

How do you plan to be a CPA Campus Ambassador when you might not be able to be on campus?

With my campus deciding to proceed to all online classes this year, I plan to connect with mentors, instructors, professionals, tutors, and other resources to help fellow accounting students get informed, be mentored, or find the help they need.

Why have you chosen to pursue a career in accounting?

The reason I decided to pursue accounting is because of one of my accounting instructors. She always valued her students and their hard work and was always ready to give guidance.

If you could build your dream business overnight, what would it be?

I would build either a coffee shop or a restaurant and have it run as a family business. Coming from a culture with tight family connections, I’ve always wanted to spend more time with family and be able to grow a business with them.
