It's hard to believe another year has come and gone already! I’ve been living in Boston since moving here in August of 2022. I’ve continued to work at Edelstein & Company, which is a CPA firm in Boston’s Financial District. More specifically, I work in the health care department. We provide accounting, consulting, and tax services for our clients, which are mainly in the healthcare industry. I love working downtown because it's in close proximity to all the fun things the city has to offer. There are lots of opportunities for things to do after work like concerts, comedy shows, and sporting events. One of my favorites though is to just grab drinks with coworkers. It's only been a little over a year since I began in this position, but I have already progressed in my career. In June I was promoted to senior associate! With this new role I’ve been given more responsibilities and more opportunities for leadership. I’m the “development coach” of three associates now and these associates report directly to me. I train them, help them with their projects as needed, and assist in their professional growth. My job is very dependent on the seasons. We are extremely busy during tax season working long hours. We make up for it in the summer though, when it's not so busy. Our work hours are decreased, and the firm shuts down for the whole week of the fourth of July. I was lucky enough to spend that week on the Vineyard with friends and family. I like living close to home because it's very easy to come back and visit. The community on the Vineyard is very special. I would like to thank MVYouth for all their support in getting me to where I am now. I can’t wait to see what comes next for me.
