Metro Jacksonville
Hi, I'm Andre Bodison, a junior at Florida State University majoring in Accounting and Management Information Systems. I aspire to become a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) to use my expertise in driving financial integrity and make a meaningful impact in my community. My journey so far has been a blend of hands-on internships and leadership roles. Summer 2023, I worked as an Accounting Intern with the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, where I gained experience in accounts payable, receivables, and financial reporting, while collaborating with various departments. I currently serve as a Resident Assistant at FSU, where I help manage a residence hall of over 800 students and organizing programs to foster a supportive community. As someone deeply involved in campus life, I’m a proud CARE student and a member of National Association of Black Accountants. My goal is to use my skills and background to make a positive impact, particularly in increasing representation within our communities. I believe in the power of mentorship, I was apart of Big Brothers Big Sisters and I hope to one day be able to give back and help guide others on their paths. I’m excited about my future in accounting and eager to connect with others who share my passion for growth, learning, and giving back. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to connect or share insights about the accounting field!
