Tell us about yourself?
I am a Senior majoring in Accounting. Some of the organizations I am a part of include Beta Alpha Psi and TBUBS (Ted Bauer Undergraduate Business scholar). I like to listen to kpop and watch anime. My favorite artist is Lana Del Rey. My favorite animal will probably be horses or raccoons.

What inspired your interest in accounting?
My interest in accounting came from my dad saying that I should take an accounting course to try it out. I tried it out and I loved it. I always thought I was going to be a lawyer, but I ended up loving accounting much more.

What would your dream job be?
My dream job would be working for myself as an accountant so that can travel around the world and meet with different clients on my own time.

What has been the biggest benefit of being a part of CSE?
Since transferring to UH and joining CSE, I have been given a lot of good advice from staff and Student Leaders. Also, CSE always emails student opportunities and ways to help.

What would you say to someone experience a personal challenge that is affecting their academics?
I would say find out what the underlying problem is, what factors are present, and out of all the factors, which are in your control? Lastly, love yourself...self-love can help you overcome some of the hardest challenges.
