“Don't be afraid to ask questions."
WHY MTax?
I enjoy taxes and how challenging it is to understand the tax code. There's no definite answer for anything, you have to research, and that was a great skill I was able to develop.
MY EXPERIENCE
The benefit of the MTax program is that it's tailored for students that don't have a lot of free time. I started the program one month after my son was born, and I was working full-time. The class schedule worked for me - it fit very well with my schedule. The professors were amazing, and explained things in a way that we could understand.
FACULTY IMPACT
Each of the MTax faculty had their own specialty. Costello, Pace, Smith...they were all great and I learned a lot from all of my professors.
ADVICE
Be disciplined - but keep balance. Sometimes you need to take care of stressful things in your personal life before you can focus. Rely on your professors and sit up front. Ask questions - don't be afraid.
WHAT'S NEXT?
I will pursue my CPA license, and will be working as an accountant.
