What is your business philosophy?
The power of conversation, networking and making connections holds a lot of value. If you value the people around you, you will always find success in your business.
Why did you choose this field / career path?
In high school, I was always very good at math and grew a passion for numbers at a young age. Later on, I thought that I would go into education to teach math, but after talking to my college advisor, she advised me that I would do well in accounting. I am so glad that I made the decision to switch my major, because this is exactly where I want to be.
What is one of the best lessons you’ve learned during your career?
“Never stop learning.” I have always been a very open-minded person. I will always encounter people who have had more experience in my career field. Taking opportunities to learn from others helps me grow personally and professionally.
“Great things never came from comfort zones.” – Neil Strauss
