About

My name in Deondra Jamaih Nicole Pendleton. I am currently a senior in college, working towards an Bachelors degree in Arcounting. My overall goal is to obtain a Masters degree, get my CPA and CISA and then settle down in Dallas.
Since I was in middle school I have been involved in community service through Kiwanis International affiliates and enjoyed the work and opportunities that those connections allowed me to partake in.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I currently have a full-time job working in Finance, but I would like to take some internships before I graduate to get more experience. Once I graduate I would like to become and Auditor and eventually a Chief Audit Executive.

Graduate school interests

When it comes to graduate school I hope to further my understanding of what career path I will take.

Outside the classroom

I enjoy anything that lets me utilize my creativity, that being said, I am an artist and I delve into my artwork when I am not studying and creating my own designs. Literature is a big stress relieves for me, so I journal constantly and am working on a novel at this moment. In regards to other smaller hobbies, I play guitar, cook, and occasionally play video games.
