I completed my undergrad and grad school at Colorado State University. I graduated Cum Laude with a B.S. in business administration and a concentration in accounting. I then went on to do a Master of Accounting with a concentration in financial statement analysis and auditing. while in grad school, I passed all 4 parts of the CPA exam on the first attempt.

Throughout my time in college, I would formally tutor students in our accounting lab, and would informally tutor my friends. I found it incredibly rewarding to help teach accounting to a student and watch it "click" in their brain.
