Where are you from?
Cleveland, Ohio

I received a BBA in Strategic Management in 2011 and BS in Sports Management in 2012 from Ohio University. I finished my JD at Cleveland State University in 2014.

I liked how this is a highly regarded program and provides an opportunity to personalize my education.

I plan on taking the CPA Exam and going on a West Coast trip over the summer.
Do you have an interesting fact, interest, etc. that you'd like to share?
I'm an avid gamer and superhero movie lover, and I should be a

Kathryn Proper '15
Where are you from?
Erie, Pennsylvania
Where did you go to undergrad? What was your major and when did you graduate?
I studied accounting at Penn State Erie - the Behrend College and graduated in 2009.
Why did you decide to get a graduate degree in accounting?
I was working in industry for a small manufacturer in Erie and knew what I really wanted to do was public accounting. I also knew I wanted a Master's degree, so going back to school for a MAcc was the perfect transition to achieve both goals and feel better prepared for the CPA Exam. I had previously interned for a CPA firm in Erie during tax season
and knew that was exactly what I wished to return to doing.
Why did you choose Fisher MAcc?
I applied to a few other programs, but fell in love with Fisher and the program during my campus visit. I felt it would be the best fit for me and as a bonus was a strong, nationally ranked program. The people I met were fantastic and really sealed the deal for me to accept my offer from Ohio State.
What are your post-graduation summer plans?
I intend to sit for the CPA Exam this summer and will begin working as a Tax Associate with
McGladrey LLP in the fall at their Cleveland, Ohio office.
Do you have an interesting fact, interest, etc. that you'd like to share?
In my free time, I love feeding people! I enjoy cooking and learning to prepare new cuisines (I am currently working on improving my Asian cooking skills) but even more so I love to bake. I make and decorate cakes on occasion, but my favorite thing to bake is cookies!
