I am majoring in accounting at college, which is why my industry is accounting. My role model is Susan Speirs. She is a certified public accountant, also known as CPA. The reason I chose Susan Speirs as a role model is because she addressed the problem accountants were having with the Utah Association of Certified Public Accounts (UACPA). She is vice president of UACPA. She is taking a leadership role by addressing the problem.
