Interview by Bailey Bowers
What have you been up to since your graduation from Ada High School?
After high school, I chose to go to college at Bowling Green State University and pursue a business degree specializing in Accounting and Finance. Some people may be confused about the word specializing because most business schools don't have specializations. At BG, all business students earn a BS in Business Administration and then they chose to specialize in an area of business.
