Principles of Taxation. I learned a great deal about my future profession and made lasting relationships with my classmates and Professor Karen Campbell.

I will pursue a master’s degree in accounting at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and prepare to take the CPA exam before starting full-time at Deloitte in June 2025.

Reflecting on being a Cardinal:

North Central holds a special place in my heart, having been the backdrop to some of the most formative experiences of my life. It's more than just a place where I earned my degree; it's where I grew personally and learned the importance of community.
