>> I went to Penn State University and I majored in accounting.
I graduated in 2007.
And I worked for DeLoitte in audit for four years.
I was up in Rochester, New York and I mostly worked
on telecommunications engagements, life insurance, some retail.
And after four years I decided, you know, I'd kind of had enough and I was ready
to try something new and also I was moving to Philadelphia because I got a job here.
So I moved from Rochester to Philadelphia about a little over a year ago.
And back when I was at Penn State I went to a picnic for the Accounting Society
and met with a partner there and he was actually from Parente Randolph at the time
and he told me all about his job as a forensic accountant and I was just blown away.
And he told me the best thing to do is to go get your experience in audit
and then it would be a much easier transition and I'd be able
to get a job in forensics much easier.
So when I moved to Philadelphia I looked up that firm, it was now Parente Beard,
and they actually had a senior position open.
So the stars have kind of aligned and that's how I ended up where I am
and I can honestly say that I love it.
It's great.
