Summary
As an Accounting student at Saint Anselm College currently enrolled in Intermediate Accounting, I bring a strong academic foundation paired with practical tax experience. Through the IRS VITA Tax Clinic, I assist in the preparation of individual income tax returns and apply core tax concepts in a client-facing environment. I also tutor college students in financial accounting, helping improve exam performance and conceptual understanding. Additionally, I bring four years of customer-facing experience at Target and operate an entrepreneurial collectible card business, strengthening my analytical thinking, problem-solving, and attention to detail. I am actively pursuing the CPA path and am particularly interested in developing my career within public accounting on the tax side. I am eager to apply these skills in an accounting internship and continue developing as an early-career professional.
