Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, US, Bachelors, Accounting
Bachelor of Business Administration, Major: Accounting - Graduated 2011
Areas of interest: Industrial / managerial management, supply chain management, statistical analysis, cost accounting, public accounting / valuation
I studied many subjects during my time at Temple. During the 2008-09 economic crisis, I thought the best move would be to get a degree that would ensure I would have a job upon graduation, when everything seemed so precarious at the time, though I have always had a passionate interest in architecture.
