Monica started out as an engineer, but her career took a detour when she convinced a family friend to let her do bookkeeping for his small business. Although Monica figured Accounting would be just another math problem, Accounting Software and Small Business Finance classes proved otherwise. After finishing those courses, though, one question lingered in her mind: What’s the difference between a debit and a credit?

With the single goal of answering her query, Monica enrolled herself into an Accounting 101 class. She found herself enamored with Accounting, eventually pursuing two accounting degrees. As Director of Finance, she’s far from where she previously expected, but she feels as if she’s where she was always meant to be.
