About Me

Born and raised in a suburb of Cincinnati, I’ve learned to love the hard-working, prideful culture that emanates from Ohio and its people. Ohio State’s students, faculty, alumni, and fans are no exception to this description. the passion OSU shows within its athletic, academic, and social endeavors is unrivaled; it’s one of the primary reasons I’ve chosen to attend the university this fall.

These three traits – hard-working, prideful, and passionate – are also how I hope my peers would describe me in a professional setting. In high school, I worked hard for my grades, took pride in my work, and thoroughly enjoyed being a Mason Comet for the past four years of my life. William Mason High School provided my classmates and I with a multitude of different opportunities to prepare for college, and I chose to utilize the business avenues present within some of the course work. For example, I enrolled in Accounting, Finance, and Statistics courses so that I’d be more prepared for Accounting work in college.

As I pursue an Accounting degree, I hope to get involved with my peers in Fischer and better myself through discussions of shared experience, problem solving, etc. Socially, I plan to play recreational sports, experience Greek life, and form new relationships with others from various cultures and backgrounds. These activities will get me involved in a university that I love, and the social skills will help me network once I reach the business world.

When I graduate from The Ohio State University in 2019, my goals are to be studying for the CPA Exam and to have a job at one of the major public accounting firms.
