Life & Career Milestones
My path in life took a while to figure out
1.
My journey stated when I graduated from College.
2.
I interned with KPMG in the Memphis office, but KPMG had other plans for me.
3.
KPMG gave me the opportunity to start my full-time career in Atlanta, a place I have always wanted to live!
4.
Being a young adult on my own in a new city was so much fun, but I found myself almost every other weekend on the road or on a plane back to Memphis. This began to take a toll on me!
5.
I spent a year in Atlanta, but decided to move back to Memphis!
6.
I have been back in Memphis for over a year now and am loving every bit! Moral of the story: No matter how much planning you do, life can take you anywhere unexpectedly!
Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Peers:
Public accounting can be stressful, time consuming, and hard at times, you may not like it or last there long.
How I responded:
When hearing negative things about a career you are pursing right out of college, it can be very discouraging. I would say, everything is not for everyone and just because it was not for someone does not mean the same for you. We all have different experiences in life and all our paths will be different. If you have a goal in mind that you want to achieve, do not let no one or anything stop you. Once you make it to where you are going you can always look back and say, "I told you I could do it!"
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
The field I am in has been historically made up of males. There have been multiple times where I have been the only female on my team and even the only African American. My cultural background has not limited me in my career. You can do anything!
