I began my collegiate journey at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, NC where I made lasting memories and many long drives through the gorgeous Blue Ridge mountains. After declaring my major as Accounting at the end of my sophomore year, I left the small-town university and transferred to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. While at UNCC, I helped to organize a writing center at a university in Kenya by collecting books and raising money for laptop computers. I also found a home in the Belk College of Business, dedicating many hours to an accounting honors organization, Beta Alpha Psi. Although the city of Charlotte dwarfs the small town of Cullowhee, I never ceased to feel like my actions could really make a difference in the community around me.
My first three summers of college were spent as a camp counselor at Lutheridge in Arden, NC. I feel so very blessed to have laughed and prayed with children in a place where friendship is true, love is unconditional, and faith is alive! This past summer, I was blessed with the opportunity to be an Intern in the tax department of Duke Energy Corp. I have found a permanent home in this department, and look forward to becoming a full-time Tax Analyst at the end of May.
After graduation, I plan to pursue my Masters of Accountancy part-time while working with Duke Energy Corp. After the completion of my masters, I will sit for the Certified Public Accountant exam.
I thank you for your support and many prayers that have accompanied me on this important journey in life. I hope that you will join me in celebrating the end of my formal undergraduate education! Now to learn the really hard lessons: life lessons!
