Audit Partner
I lead EY’s Audit practice in the East Region and serve clients.
In my Audit Leader role, I make decisions that impact our practice from an operational and financial standpoint – hiring or resource-allocation decisions for example. I spend a lot of time mentoring and coaching others, talking to people about their careers and different paths that they could take. I also deal with the complexities in our clients’ businesses and apply a solution-oriented mindset that helps them reach their goals.
Here's the first step for college students
Think about how you’re investing in yourself. In other words, don't just go through the motions of whatever you're involved in – school, work, relationships, etc. – but really give it your all, because it will pay off in the future. Approach everything like it’s an investment in your future, because it is.
"It's a pretty intensive career early on in terms of the hours. So people told me they thought I was crazy for working as much as I did. They warned me of burnout."
