My name is Jake Berglund and I am a first generation student from Burlington Massachusetts. As a first-year student at Bentley University, I am planning on majoring in the Accounting or Finance field. I’m interested in this area because of my work as a general contractor associate and handling money, along with my background in financial analysis and reporting. My experience involves being a two-time varsity captain, and also being an assistant coach for Buckingham Browne and Nichols and Burlington Middle school. This has given me the skills necessary to work well communicate effectively with teams, and also persevere through the unexpected. I am hoping to learn about corporate finance and accounting-related career paths by talking to banking and tax professionals in the field this summer.
