05 / About and international experience
Upper-DivisionBSBA AccountingI am an accounting student from Lincolnton, North Carolina, building a career around dependable work, practical business experience, and continuous learning.
Before arriving at Appalachian State, I completed substantial dual-enrollment coursework while working and serving in local leadership. Since then, I have continued developing accounting skills through payroll, manual bookkeeping records, scheduling, data analysis, and day-to-day operations.
I bring the same approach to every responsibility: understand the details, communicate clearly, and finish the work correctly regardless of its size or visibility.
