Which on-campus activities were you involved in as a student? How did those activities assist you in attaining your career goals?
Big Brother and Big Sisters. It gave me the passion to want to guide students on their way on being career curious. In addition, because I always had mentors and guidance throughout my career as a student, accountant and auditor, it made me aware that this is what I wanted to do early on.

I graduated with my BS in accounting at JWU (North Miami), I graduated from ST. Thomas University with my MBA with a specialization in Accounting and a Graduate Certificate in Forensic Accounting, I have a CFE (Certified Fraud Examiner) Certification, and I am scheduled to take the first part of the CPA exam on April 1, 2008.
Please list what skills and/or qualities you will bring to the council to help take the council to the next level.
