Marianne Harris

What is your major and why did you decide to join BAP?
"My major is accounting. I decided to join BAP for all of the amazing benefits but the main reason was the ability to network and meet so many professionals in the surrounding accounting firms."

What has been your favorite experience as part of BAP?
"Networking with professionals as well as fellow students who may very well be coworkers in the future."

What do you plan to do in your professional career?
"I plan to get my CPA license and work in the audit department of a firm locally."

Outside of BAP and schoolwork, what do you enjoy doing?
"My kids keep me busy but I also enjoy crafting, reading and enjoying the outdoors."
​
What advice would you give to new members and candidates?
"I can’t emphasize enough to go to meetings, socials, banquets, dinners... any event you can and network! When you are interviewing for internships you will see familiar faces you know through BAP and it makes it so much easier. Getting involved by becoming an officer or director would only help you even more."
