My academic and professional career have turned out much better than I could have imagined (so far).
In 2018, I was getting ready to graduate high school and looking at a wide variety of universities. 这是我当时的首选, and the one of five schools I was not granted admission to, 是匹兹堡大学. I thought it was the end of the world, as everything is when you are 18. It was shortly after this that I received a brochure in the mail from Point Park University. Point Park stood out to me and after I toured campus, I could not picture myself anywhere else. 对我来说最大的吸引力是小, community-like feel that Point Park provided while also offering valuable professional opportunities. 我的班级从来没有超过15个学生, and this allowed me to build important relationships with professors as well as my peers. 快进到2021年,我以B的成绩毕业了.S. 在会计三年内. The full course loads, summer courses, and waiting tables part-time was well worth it.
I completed one internship prior to starting at bet9游戏平台, 那是现场税务实习. While I did have remote classes since COVID-19 started, I have never worked full time from home. 一开始我非常紧张, sitting in front of a screen with all these people I have never met. That feeling quickly faded as everyone I have met so far has been genuinely helpful and kind. 入职过程非常顺利, and the buddy system that has been implemented is extremely useful. It is very clear that bet9游戏平台 values community and inclusiveness between its employees. The efforts the company has made to make the virtual environment feel like being at the office is something I have never experienced before. All of this is one of the reasons bet9游戏平台 stood out to me. The company gives off a tight-knit community feel that competing firms cannot match, while also providing extremely rewarding opportunities.
The work that I have done up until this point has been so beneficial. From performing assessments on my own to drafting formal reports and communicating with clients, this has been an opportunity I would not want to experience anywhere else.
