Life & Career Milestones
My path in life has been direct
1.
Grew up less fortunate than others financially.
2.
Didn't understand the whole college route. College applications, financial aid, scholarships, grants, room and board, time management, etc.
3.
Struggled paying for college, worked three jobs during school to pay for school and to pay bills but also had to find time to go to class and study.
4.
Started at a small firm and realized school didn't really prepare me for the real tax world.
5.
Went to Deloitte after 3 years. Solidified my compliance skills and began to delve into the provision world.
