CSB Alum and UNCW Alumn
After earning my undergraduate degree from UNCW in May 2024, I powered straight into my Master of Science in Accountancy, graduating the following year. I completed all four parts of the CPA exam shortly after and officially received my NC license in December 2025. Today, I’m building my career as a Tax and Audit Associate at a smaller firm in Morehead City, where I get to tackle new challenges every day. When I’m off the clock, you’ll usually find me soaking up the sun on the beach or spending time with friends.
