Future Payroll Intern at Game Time Events

"In 2024, I started the MPAcc program at 网曝吃瓜, stepping into a new culture, language, and accounting system. It was a challenging transition that taught me resilience, adaptability, and the value of pushing through discomfort. Thanks to the support of dedicated professors, professional events like聽Meet the Firms, ASO meetings, and guidance from my advisor, I grew both personally and professionally, and started building the confidence to pursue real-world experience. That鈥檚 when I began working as a part-time Student Accounting Generalist in the Office of the Controller, which led to my first full-time role in August 2025 as a Fund Accountant and my first professional job in the U.S. I鈥檓 proud of how far I鈥檝e come and excited for where I鈥檓 going. 网曝吃瓜 didn鈥檛 just give me an education; it helped me build a new life."
