From the President:
I am pleased to be serving as president of the Student Auxiliary for the current year. I attend the University of Houston-Downtown where I am very active on campus. I work in the Accounting Department in the management services and transportation field located in Greenway Plaza. My goals include helping students to enrich their lives through networking and peer related activities, like those of the Student Auxiliary, receiving my BBA in Accounting in 2012, becoming a CPA, and growing my accounting career. I look forward to being a part of this experience with you
all.
