"When I was in college, I majored in business because it was broad but offered finance, accounting, and other courses of interest to me. When I landed my first job, it was for a tiny fintech startup so I gained exposure to multiple parts of the business, including marketing, customer service, bookkeeping, and human resources. I started to gravitate toward HR, finding that I enjoyed being involved with hiring (in other words, shaping the company), working with and managing the employees, and handling payroll and benefits. I decided to go back to school to earn a Master's degree in HR. The rest is history. I love my job because it allows me to help both my coworkers and management at the same time."
