>> I am a 2008 Penn State University graduate with a bachelor's in accounting and I graduated
and began in our New York office at KPMG serving in our audit practice.
My association with the firm with whom I am currently employed began in 2006
when I first attended a summer externship program and was able to fly outer to Hollywood,
California and participate in all kinds of leadership development opportunities.
From there I went on to do an internship with KPMG in our Philadelphia office.
Signed on and agreed to come back full time after completing college
when I was actually formally reached out to regarding an opportunity to be
in our New York office to do a rotation which was more accounting research-based
and for me growing up in a kind of a small town in Pennsylvania,
had never dreamt I was starting my career in New York.
It was kind of small town girl hits the big city
but it was the best opportunity I've had professionally.
To step outside my comfort zone, meet wonderful people from throughout the U.S. and really
through myself in and learn a new city.
