Seattle, Washington, United States
I learned the value of hard work early on, which gave me the courage and drive to continually aim higher. At 15, I began working in the landscaping industry, where I negotiated and closed deals with clients—an experience that first connected me to the world of business. Inspired by my father, who built his own landscaping company, I pursued an associate degree in Business, where I discovered a passion for Accounting. Along the way, I strengthened my customer service, scheduling, and marketing skills through various side jobs, building confidence in communication and client relations. After earning my associate degree, I secured my first bookkeeping role—a milestone that affirmed my decision to pursue a career in accounting. Taking the initiative to personally research and visit local firms to deliver my résumé was one of the most rewarding steps in my professional journey. Today, I’m a senior at the University of Washington’s Foster School of Business, pursuing a triple major in Accounting, Finance, and Entrepreneurship with a minor in Real Estate. My long-term goal is to earn a Master of Science in Taxation and become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) by 2028. I’m committed to continuous learning and growth, always seeking opportunities to apply my skills and make a meaningful impact in the business world.
