About
I am a student at The University of Houston - C.T. Bauer College of Business Executive Education. I am double majoring in Management and Accounting. I am working to enter into the PPA five year program to receive a master's in accountancy and heading into the leadership track for management. Upon graduating I intend to get my CPA certification.
When I'm not in school or working, I tutor local students in my area, write fictional short stories, and spend as much time with my family.
