Karen Flores

As a senior at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, and a first-generation student pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration focus on Accounting, I offer a unique perspective and a strong work ethic. My diverse professional experiences in assisting human resources and management, quality control, and clerical roles have equipped me with valuable skills in team leadership, process optimization, and data analysis to a career in auditing and tax. On track to become CPA eligibility by Spring 2025.
