Ironically, I began this path when I was helping my daughter. A simple statement to her Student Success Coach about how proud I was of my daughter’s academic choice and how I wished I wasn’t so “established” in my Medical Technology career and wished I could miraculously reinvent myself in the accounting field. That’s all it took! 

A short stint as an Audit Assistant at RIT left me daydreaming about what kind of accountant I could have become. Within an hour, I was talking with Professor Conley and a whole new world opened to me! I’m hoping for a happily ever after with this journey!”  I couldn’t be more pleased with my choice and how much I’ve learned already.

I have been working in healthcare for many years – odd shifts, missing holidays with loved ones, overtime mandates. My dream was to take my skills and transfer them to a new career; but how? Better yet, could I really do it? Enter in a chance conversation with my daughter’s GCC academic counselor, Professor Conley. She shared that I too could attend GCC with a Micro-credential in Accounting! I was so scared but I seized the opportunity. Turns out I have a gift for Accounting and can’t wait to see where this takes me!
