Summary

I am a driven and detail-oriented student at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse, currently pursuing a career in accounting and taxation. I graduated summa cum laude from high school and have since built strong academic and professional foundations through hands-on experience and relationship-building. My current role as a Corporate Tax Intern at Ashley Furniture Industries has given me valuable exposure to both federal and state tax processes. I’ve contributed to tax form preparation, making payments, and research for state tax credits, all while developing a deeper curiosity and passion for corporate taxation. Prior to this, I worked at Waumandee State Bank, where I assisted customers with daily banking transactions and delivered outstanding customer service. This experience helped sharpen my communication skills and taught me the importance of precision, integrity, and trust. Additionally, I have built connections with individuals across a wide range of backgrounds, from fellow students and professors at UWL to business professionals I’ve met through FBLA opportunities, including a job shadow with the Milwaukee Bucks corporate team. With a strong academic record, hands-on experience, and a proactive approach to networking and professional development, I’m eager to continue learning, growing, and making an impact in the accounting and tax field.
