I am a sophomore majoring in accounting at Missouri State University, passionate about pursuing a career in the field. My academic journey is complemented by hands-on experience in an Accounts Payable position at Utility Trailer Manufacturing, where I gained valuable insights into corporate finance operations.Beyond academics, I am an entrepreneur and the proud owner of Luci Licious, a business specializing in homemade dog treats and dog-sitting services. Running my own business has sharpened my organizational and financial management skills, which align with my aspirations in accounting.I am actively involved on campus as a member of Alpha Delta Pi and Christ for Church (C4C). These organizations have allowed me to grow both personally and professionally, fostering leadership, collaboration, and a sense of community.In addition, I am committed to giving back through community service, having volunteered with various organizations in Springfield, Missouri, and my hometown, Kennett, Missouri. These experiences have strengthened my work ethic and dedication to helping others.My ultimate goal is to become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), and I am actively seeking an accounting internship to further develop my expertise and advance my career in the accounting field.
