About

As a senior Accounting major at Baruch College, I’m passionate about helping individuals and businesses navigate the complex world of taxation. With hands-on experience in both public and nonprofit tax preparation, I’m building a strong foundation in tax compliance, client service, and financial analysis. I plan to pursue a Master’s in Taxation and earn my CPA to deepen my expertise and serve clients at a higher level. I’m always open to connecting with professionals in tax, accounting, and financial services. Currently, I’m a Tax Intern at Davis, Ward & Hochman LLP, where I assist in preparing and reviewing tax returns and apply my growing knowledge of tax law in a real-world setting. I’ve also worked as a Tax Consultant with Community Tax Aid NYC, serving low-income individuals and families, and gaining valuable experience with TaxSlayer and IRS VITA standards. Beyond tax, I enjoy mentoring and giving back to the community. As a Student Ambassador and Executive Peer Mentor at Baruch, I’ve led campus tours, supported student programs, and helped incoming students transition into college life.
