Instead, he served six years in the U.S. Marine Corps before beginning his college education, and along the way became a husband and father. “I experienced how important personal finances are for success in life and decided to find a career where I could help others with their financial situations. While at Millersville, I learned about the vital role accountants serve in the financial success of individuals and their businesses.”
With support from his professors, Patrick joined the accounting major and soon began his first internship with a local accounting firm. “During this time, I was able to rely on my scholarship to support my education and my household, freeing me up to focus on my education and the beginning of my career in accounting.” Patrick is excited to graduate in the spring of 2027 and begin working at his internship location while pursuing a CPA license and furthering his education.
