“Being on BAP executive board has helped me develop my professionalism and ability to balance extracurricular activities, school, work, family and friends. I learned a great deal from drafting emails and planning events. I used to be intimidated to talk to recruiters and other professionals in their field, and now I am comfortable as ever. BAP has shaped my college experience and I am grateful to take my knowledge and skills I acquired into the accounting world.”
