Age: 21

Hometown: Park Ridge, Ill.

Major: Accounting & Finance

On The Economy: I believe that the near future will expose our generation to hard times we've never experienced. The coming months will challenge those just entering the business world and cause firms to be even more selective when hiring. I feel well prepared from my college courses and confident in my ability to learn and adapt for my future career.

On Future Plans: Currently, I plan to begin my career in public accounting with KPMG. Villanova has a great accounting program and is recognized for its high success rate in job placement for accounting majors post-graduation.

On Majoring in Business: The experience has allowed me to understand the state of the current economy and its possible causes. It is important to recognize the cause and effect relationship of economic factors so we can work to improve our business practices.
