I am a third-year Accounting student at the University of Cincinnati. After a few years jumping between restaurant and retail jobs after high school and a couple unsuccessful stints in college, I thought it would be in my best interest to go back to school and get a degree. I started at UC Blue Ash with no idea of "what I wanted to be when I grew up." I chose to go into business because it sounded broad and made me feel like I wasn't tying myself down to anything in particular. During my very first semester back, I took financial accounting and realized that not only was I naturally very good at it but also that I really enjoyed it. Because of my professors and the staff at UC Blue Ash, I truly believe that I have found a career path that I am passionate about. I graduated from Blue Ash with honors in December, 2016.
I chose to become a Student Ambassador because I want to share my experience with other students who may feel like they are unsure of their future. I want to share my passion for UC Blue Ash with other students and give them hope that they can further their education and achieve their goals. More than anything, I want to give back at least a little for everything UC Blue Ash has done for me through providing me with a second chance.
