Alex Miller '23

First Port: Audit Staff at Perkins & Co.

Major: Accounting

What are you most excited about for your Next Port?

I am excited to return to the company I interned at to continue to make connections and build upon my technical knowledge within a large business context.

What piece of advice would you give to yourself as a first-year student?

Try not to overthink!

Was there a faculty or staff member, or department that specially helped you land your Next Port?

Max Kalchthaler from the Career Center helped me set-up the informational interview that ultimately led me to majoring in Accounting and working at Perkins. I definitely wouldn't be in the same boat without that support.
