I was an Intern for the 2021 'Busy Season,' working as an Auditor for the Rural Electric Cooperatives and State & Local Government sectors. I worked on audits for clients of various sizes, averaging two or three clients a week with my team. With an amazing atmosphere and encouraging mentors, I experienced a tremendous growth from day 1 all the way through month 3. After completing this internship, I was confident I would enjoy beginning a career in Public Accounting, and had accepted a full-time position with CLA post-graduation.

Big Discovery Project Consultant
Minnesota State University, Mankato | Rochester, MN
May 2018 - July 2018
I was given the opportunity to interview alumni in my hometown area for the Alumni Foundation Center. During the course of the interview, I would ask them what initially brought them to MSU, as well as how their time there was like and what they've been up to since graduation. I got to meet a lot of interesting, amazing people! One thing that really stood out to me was how different people found MSU had become. I dedicated a couple minutes of every interview to asking alumni what campus was like during their time and describing what it was like now.
