About
Hi, there!
In 2019 I successfully graduated with my Master in Business Administration from Concordia University, Nebraska. Right after that, I jumped into one of the most dynamics and thrilling jobs I've ever had as an Operations Area Manager at Amazon Logistics in Omaha, Nebraska.
Working in such a close relationship with the cost side of business made me realize that I'd love to expand my knowledge in Accounting. Hence, I applied for an MPA program at the University of Lincoln, NE, and well... here I am! As a TA for the Economics department, I am currently pursuing my Master of Public Accountancy!
Life never stops surprising you!

Graduate Teaching Assistant - Economics.
University of Nebraska - Lincoln. You are probably wondering why someone with an extensive background in business and pursuing an MPA is a Teaching Assistant for the Economics Department. Well, long story short, I can never get enough! I love economics, but not as much as I love accounting and finance. Hence, I decided that being a TA for economics will allow me to learn more about it while having time to focus on my MPA program. I guess I can say I’m getting the best of both worlds! I love my role, and I couldn’t be happier with all the practical and theoretical skills this position teaches me!
