Summary

As a graduate of Appalachian State University’s Walker College of Business, I bring a strong foundation in business strategy, leadership, and operational management. Since graduating, I have gained hands-on experience as a Tax Associate at H&R Block, where I prepare individual tax returns, analyze client financial information, and ensure compliance with federal and state tax regulations. Previously, I worked as a Project Foreman at Gill’s Painting and a Managerial Intern at Shoe Dept. Encore, leading teams, supporting daily operations, and driving customer satisfaction. These roles strengthened my leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills. I am motivated to continue growing in business, finance, or accounting-focused roles.
