Summary

Driven Accounting major at Grand Valley State University with a clear path toward earning a Bachelors/Master's in Accounting and CPA licensure. I bring a unique blend of academic focus, hands-on internship experience, and a competitive athletic background that has shaped my discipline, adaptability, and leadership. Over the past five months at the law firm of Stenger & Stenger as an intern, I’ve supported accountants, attorneys, and paralegals—gaining experience in garnishment processing, tax withholdings, compliance, and advanced Excel use. My time as a collegiate athlete taught me how to manage high-pressure demands while fostering teamwork and resilience. Known by past supervisors as “an extreme joy to be around,” I’m recognized for my ability to build strong relationships, get along with everyone, and adapt quickly to new challenges. I’m passionate about accounting and excited to contribute to a firm where I can grow, collaborate, and add value from day one.
