"BAP has impacted my life and career in several ways. As student President of the chapter at University of Florida, I learned how to speak, act and dress professionally. I made many good friends that I am still in touch with today. I am sure that I obtained my first job at Arthur Andersen due to BAP! While in college, I never imagined that I would end up back in the classroom as an accounting teacher. That is where the road took me, however, and I am grateful every day to be able to connect with young, motivated students. When our university was given the opportunity to start a new chapter, I wanted to give back and volunteered to serve as faculty advisor. It is so rewarding to see the impact BAP has on their lives. Best wishes for another 100 years!"
As a Beta Alpha Psi Professional Partner representing the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants (AICPA & CIMA), I am fortunate to interact with highly accomplished students who are poised to become leaders in the accounting and financial services industry. I envision many of them taking on strategic roles with macroeconomic influence. Supporting their academic and professional growth with AICPA & CIMA resources is an incredibly rewarding experience.
