As the team representative for the track team, I developed emotional intelligence and leadership skills that directly apply to the professional world. Paired with technical knowledge I have learned in my MBA program, these skills have allowed me to add value to the firms I have worked for. I pride myself on my ability to thinking critically using software, such as Excel, to solve challenging problems. Furthermore, my passion is to serve the client by bringing the best possible solutions to the table. My experience working with diverse groups of people, whether at Indiana University or with accounting firms in other countries, has showed me that passion, continual learning, and adaptability are some of the most important characteristics of a client-serving professional. I intend to work with a firm that embraces my desire to continue to hone these skills while serving the needs of the client.
