"The feeling of accomplishment has never been so great."
Why did you decide to attend Saunders College of Business at RIT?
After receiving my undergraduate degree, I chose to remain at RIT for my MBA in Accounting. I became the President of the on-campus club Next Generation of Accountants (NGA), a position I wanted to hold since joining the club as a Freshman. I was happy I could take the role of President to new heights.
In what ways has Saunders/RIT prepared you for the job market?
After a successful summer co-op, I accepted a full-time offer to work for PricewaterhouseCoopers in Boston upon completing RIT's Accounting MBA. I had three co-ops while an undergraduate, thanks to hard work on my part and the great opportunity RIT offers that is their career fair. I loved continually meeting new people and the work I was doing, and that I could see myself in the public accounting field for the rest of my life.
What do you feel is the most distinctive advantage gained from your Saunders Experience?
I have taken a very wide variety of RIT courses, and it has given me the ability to understand how to learn. RIT has done an excellent job putting me into multiple different courses, groups, projects, and scenarios, all testing my ability to adapt to the challenge ahead. My adaptability and ability to learn on the fly will in the business world be more valuable than any concept taught in a class.
