Intern, PwC
I am a non-traditional student who transferred from Collin College, and I am currently one of the ambassadors of the Professional Program in Accounting. I am completing an internship at PwC ,where I hope to get a full-time offer. Being associated with the Peer-to-Peer Mentoring program helped ease my transition into UTD and has allowed me the opportunity to do the same for others and give back. These accounting programs have opened up doors I never thought possible and have given me every opportunity I could have asked for. It has been an honor meeting so many great individuals and being a part of the growth of the accounting program.

Incoming State & Local Tax Associate, RSM
The Accounting program at The University of Texas at Dallas has helped me tremendously these past few years. I found my internship and future full-time job at RSM through this program and made many friends along the way. I have always felt supported during my time in the program and could not have done it without my peers and program advisors. I got the opportunity to be involved in the Professional Program in Accounting, and I am an Accounting Peer Mentor. Both have allowed me to be the best leader and accounting professional I could be. I will always remember my time in this program and what I have learned as I begin my professional career.

I've had the opportunity to network with accomplished DFW Area Audit professionals who taught me the value of diverse academic backgrounds. My PPA cohort has become a tight-knit group of colleagues that remain supportive of each other as we pursue our CPA licenses and enter the public accounting profession. Being a PPA Class 14 Ambassador, Accounting Peer Mentor, and Transfer Mentor are roles that have allowed me to share my experiences, help new students, and strengthen my skills as a leader. The staff and faculty genuinely do everything possible to provide the resources and support to ensure success and cultivate leadership in graduates of the Accounting Program.
