My name is Eddie Ramos. Being a first-generation college student has driven me to accomplish many things among my family. Finishing among the top ten students in my class, being the lead ambassador for the business academy at my high school and earning a scholarship at UNT has constantly pushed to become even better in leadership and work ethic.Growing up, I endured a sickness that questioned my ability to see what I can do. Having cyclic vomiting syndrome caused me to be in the hospital many times and miss a lot of school. My parents and my brother were the ones who pushed me to become the person I am today. I am dedicated to my studies and being a first-generation college student has made me want to achieve my goals of being an accountant even more. All of my life, I’ve had a love for math but learning more in depth about accounting and the different concepts of finances it consisted of really caught my eye. I remember in high school, I was a student assistant in my accounting classes because of how easy it was to me in just being able to grasp the content without much difficulty. I was the business academy's ambassador in which I spoke on behalf of the school in interviews on television & at the school's tax program discussing why I decided to pursue business and share my personal experiences. I finished high school with a 3.9 GPA, 23 college hours and being a distinguished student.I am now an alumni of the University of North Texas with a BBA in accounting. Formerly a government auditor at Pattillo, Brown & Hill LLP and currently a CAS staff accountant at Maynard CPA, PLLC. I am detail oriented, organized, team player and communicative. I am always looking to advance more in my career and explore new areas.
