I’m an entrepreneur, and I’m marketing myself as a brand... I appreciate that my Whitman professors always took me seriously and never wrote me off as just a girl who liked wearing pretty clothes. I’ve applied so much of what I learned at Whitman, like the benefits of forming an LLC, how to read marketing studies on consumer behavior and using analytics, to benefit my brand. All in all, I learned how to make a living doing what I love, and so much of that came from Whitman.

I tell students that there are ways to combine your accounting careers with other interests and passions. Not everyone has to take the traditional public accounting route, but you have to be smart about your career moves... It’s going to be a ride, and it won’t always be linear, so always look two steps ahead to see if the path you’re on will take you where you want to be.
