Goals and interests

Career goal

My career goals lie within the field of fraud investigation. I also plan on attending a graduate program in accounting while also preparing and sitting for the CPA exam. I would personally like to obtain my CPA before the age of thirty. I have also considered training to become a prosecuting attorney for financial crimes---nothing would make me feel more accomplished than bringing to justice the people behind such infamous scandals as those surrounding WorldCom, Enron, Koss Corporation, and Parmalat.

Graduate school interests

I am considering a graduate program in either accounting, finance, or a master's in business administration. Being a die-hard Bearkat, my school of choice is first and foremost Sam Houston State University. I have also considered either a paralegal certification or pursuing a law degree to better understand the legal environment of accounting (also for the sake of occupational versatility.)

Outside the classroom

As much as I enjoy Microsoft Excel and balance sheets, I also enjoy music, travel, baseball, writing, and gaming.
