Could you walk me through your career path, starting with your experiences in college? Did you have any internships or jobs before your current role?
Sure. When I was in college, I used to do a lot of tutoring for math, finance, and accounting. I was also part of my table tennis team and served as the captain, so I did a lot of coaching there.
In terms of internships, I first joined an accounting consulting company called Prudential as a junior accountant. There, I worked with a lot of small and medium-sized business enterprises.
