I completed my education at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee from 2017 to 2023, where I earned my Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting in December 2021, graduating with a 3.43 GPA out of 4.0. Throughout my undergraduate studies, I actively participated in extracurricular activities and held the role of Vice President of the UWM Hockey Club, where I developed leadership and team management skills.
In addition to my academic achievements, I gained valuable professional experience in the field of accounting through a busy season audit and tax internship at CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen), where I applied my classroom knowledge to real-world scenarios.
Building on my passion for technology and insights from my professors and recruiters, I pursued a Master of Science in Information Technology, which I completed in May 2023 with a 3.93 GPA out of 4.0. During my master's program, I further developed my expertise in the tech industry by participating in a Risk Advisory Internship at Baker Tilly, where I focused on cybersecurity consulting. This experience allowed me to expand my skill set in both accounting and technology, preparing me for the evolving demands of today's business world.
