As a junior at the University of Maryland, I am actively seeking internship opportunities to enhance my understanding of the financial sector within accounting and foster career growth. With previous experience in customer service and a passion for assisting individuals and businesses in navigating the complexities of taxes, I am drawn to the real-life relevancy of accounting and the opportunity it presents to make a meaningful impact on people's lives. I am currently taking coursework related to individual taxation, financial statement analysis and intermediate accounting. My goal of becoming a CPA is driven by the realization that tax-related decisions directly influence financial well-being, and I am eager to contribute my skills and knowledge to help individuals and businesses make sound financial choices. I am currently focused on utilizing my skillset and prior experiences to secure employment in an accounting-based firm. My goal is to immerse myself among experienced accounting professionals, gradually preparing myself for the CPA exam.
