Sarah Conte Email & Phone Number

Growing up, I loved mathematics and learning about math. I completed and won various math tournaments in elementary and middle school. From a young age, I wanted a career that used math frequently. My first college semester was spent in a nursing program on the road to become a nurse anesthetist. Most of my family was in the medical field so it made sense to me and it involved math. 2 months in and I wanted to bail ship. I learned anatomy and biology were not my strong suit. Crying to my parents gave me the realization that being a nurse wasn't my calling. They suggested I talk to my relative that was a CPA and started business classes shortly after. I fell in love with my accounting classes immediately and never looked back. My various awards in the accounting field further assured me that I made the right choice.My school peers, teachers and coworkers will all say the same thing about me. Very shy at first but will talk your ear off after a few weeks. I've constantly found myself listening and observing different people. This helps me come up with how to interact with each person individually. This has helped in my career since I have worked primarily in settings were teamwork and customer service were very involved.I want to expand my knowledge of finance and accounting. Working in different industries provides a new excitement and challenge. My current goals are to obtain my CPA and MBA. I want to learn more and more because I believe education is endless.
