This week we catch up with 2011 graduate Kate Speare as she fills us in on life after Generals Lax!
1. Name: Kate Speare
2. Graduation Year: 2011
3. Position: Attack
4. Major: Accounting and Business
5. Where do you live now? I am living in Charlottesville, VA where I just finished a year masters program for accounting. I will be studying for the CPA in Charlottesville for much of the summer. Then I will move back home to Wallingford, PA before moving again to Washington D.C. in September.
6. What are doing now for work? This summer I will just be studying for the CPA Exam. I will start working in Assurance for Ernst & Young in October.
7. Favorite lacrosse memory from W&L? There are way too many good memories to narrow it down to just one!
8. What do you miss most from Lexington? Blue Sky Bakery
9. How did W&L or your lacrosse experience help prepare you for what you are doing now? Many of my major classes I took helped me learn subject areas that I am currently reviewing for the CPA. The knowledge I learned from my major will be used when I start work in October. In addition to the general accounting and business knowledge I learned at W&L, the hard work and time management skills I acquired from both classes and lacrosse have greatly added to my success this past year and will definitely help in the Fall.
10. If you could have a super power what would it be? It would be to apparate so I can instantly be anywhere with no travel time or expense!
A big thank you to Kate for filling us in on her life after W&L. Lucky for us, D.C. isn't too far away so hopefully we'll see her for the alumnae game in the Fall if Ernst & Young can spare her for a weekend!
