My interest in accounting began while working in the automotive industry after graduating high school. I worked full-time for several years at a car dealership processing titles and documents necessary for the legal transfer of ownership when a car was sold. The owner of the dealership gave me the opportunity to help with basic bookkeeping and reconciling. It was something I enjoyed doing so they had me take an introductory accounting course at the North Idaho College Workforce Training Center. After several years of working at the car dealership, I decided to become a full-time student at the University of Idaho to focus my studies on accounting where I obtained a bachelor’s degree in business administration.
