10 years has flown by for me. After high school,
I started off at Northeast CC. I met lots of great people that I still
consider good friends. Then after two years I headed off to MS State to
study Accounting. My years at Mississippi State seemed to be really
busy, but we made plenty time to relax at the pool too. My senior year,
I went through the recruiting process for a job that was two years
away, it was stressful and fun at the same time! I ended up with a Big 4
Accounting Firm, KPMG, that let me do an internship in Memphis second
semester of my senior year. Loved it and decided that is where I wanted
to be. I graduated with my Bachelors of Accountancy in May 2007, then I
continued to Graduate school for the next year at MSU. Graduate school
is where my love for State grew even more! I worked in the Office of
Admissions as a Campus recruiter. I got to learn so much more about the
school than I ever imagined and got High School seniors just as excited
about campus as I had been. I also ended up meeting a really great guy
named Benjamin who slowly made me fall in love until I couldn’t deny it
anymore. We traveled together, enjoyed MSU sports together, but most
of all we loved breaking it down on the dance floor at every
wedding/bar/event we attended.
After a busy year of grad school,
working, and studying for the CPA exam, I finally graduated in July 2008
with a Masters of Professional Accountancy, moved to Memphis, TN and
added CPA to my name. I worked with KPMG for a year and a half before
moving back to Tupelo to join the Accounting department at
BancorpSouth. In August 2010, I married my dancing partner and moved
into our first house. Two became three when we adopted Jiggy, the
craziest boxer puppy I’ve ever met. I love him dearly even though he is
extremely stubborn.
Benjamin and I lived through many renovations in
that house before we sold it in 2012 to move to Pontotoc where he is
from. We are now currently building my dream house on a lake (ready in
July) and I’m so ready for this next stage in our lives!
