As part of the Office of Career Services team, I facilitated with the logistics of events for firms who wish to have a strong student outreach at the University. Events included but were not limited to; Corporate Information Sessions, Networking events, and CEOs or other executives serving as speakers. My role was to lead a team to plan and run events to ensure that our partner firms received the best experience and exposure to University of Maryland students.

I completed a ~12 week internship with the Government Contracting Services team under KPMG’s Advisory practice. I reported directly to my senior associate, intern mentor, as well as the partner on my progress throughout the Internship experience. I improved my technical accounting knowledge base, Microsoft Excel skills, and comfort in client-facing environments. At the conclusion of the internship, I was offered and accepted a full-time role as an Advisory Associate starting in the Summer of 2016.

I graduated in May of 2016 from the University of Maryland with degrees in both Finance and Accounting and a cumulative ~3.43 GPA. I was involved in numerous student groups as well as working multiple jobs throughout my four years at the university.

I decided to change my major from Mathematics and was accepted in the Robert H. Smith School of Business where I obtained 150 credits and acquired degrees in both Finance and Accounting.
