My 2024 has been a year full of change and growth. I’ve been living in Boston for the past two years, but in July I moved out of my first apartment and relocated to Quincy, MA, settling into a beautiful apartment on the water. It’s been an exciting transition that has allowed me to enjoy both the peacefulness of the harbor and the vibrancy of city life. I’ve enjoyed exploring Quincy by finding new restaurants and cafes to try, and I enjoy the suburban feel while being in close proximity to Boston. On the professional side, my company underwent a major transformation this year, merging with Eisner Amper, a larger CPA firm with offices nationwide. This merger opens up incredible opportunities for career growth, and I’m looking forward to exploring new paths within the firm. As a Senior Associate, I’ve also taken on the rewarding role of being a performance and career coach for three staff members. Guiding their development has not only been fulfilling but has also helped me gain valuable managerial experience. This fall, I enjoyed traveling to new places, including my first trip to Chicago in October and a visit to New York City later in the season. Outside of work, I’ve been having fun with friends, exploring the city, and attending concerts, sporting events, and comedy shows. I’m deeply thankful for the support of MVYouth, and it’s incredible to be a part of such an amazing organization. I can’t wait to see what 2025 has in store!
