One word that describes how you work: concise

What apps/software/tools can’t you live without? Why?

Microsoft Excel, Word, Outlook, Google Chrome, Spotify

What’s your best time-saving shortcut/life hack?

I make sure to write down all the events and assignments I know I have throughout the rest of the week on a calendar and cross them off when I know I finished them / the event has passed so I can easily keep track of what I have left to do for the rest of the week.

What everyday thing are you better at than everyone else? What’s your secret?

I like to think that I am better than most at doing math in my head. Being an accounting major means I have to do numerous calculations daily which gives me lots of practice for doing math in my head.

What do you listen to while you work?

I listen to different kinds of music while working but generally I listen to artists such as Post Malone, Juice WRLD, or XXXTENTACION.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?

“Don’t worry what other people think”

Where do you find inspiration and new ideas?

I usually find inspiration by talking to my friends and family and getting different opinions from people who are close to me.

What’s your favorite quote?

“The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.”

-Harriet Jackson Brown Jr.
