What is your business philosophy?
Throughout my professional career, I have learned the importance of the client comes first. If you have that belief, everything else will fall into prospective place.
Why did you choose this field / career path?
During my high school years, I had to choose an elective class, and I had no idea what my interests were at the time. So, I chose an accounting class. Learning about debits, credits, assets, and liabilities “piqued my interest”. Since then, I was determined to make accounting my career path.
What is one of the best lessons you’ve learned during your career?
Be eager to learn because your success in life depends on it.
“It’s not what you say out of your mouth that determines your life, it’s what you whisper to yourself that has the most power.” – Robert T. Kiyosaki
