Hello, everyone! My name is Hope, and I am a UGA MAcc student on the Audit track and a Graduate Assistant in Tull! I graduated from UGA with my BBA in Accounting in May. I interned at Aprio in Atlanta for two summers (2023 & 2024) on their forensic accounting team and have accepted an offer to start there full-time once I graduate from the MAcc program! Last year, I served as the VP of Initiates for UGA Beta Alpha Psi, and this year, I am thrilled to be the President of this organization, which has had a profound impact on my life both personally and professionally. Go Dawgs!!

Hi! My name is Becca Paden, I’m from Marietta, GA, and I am a senior year Accounting and MIS student. I plan to pursue my MAcc here at UGA! BAP has connected me with so many professionals and fellow students and has given me so much knowledge of the accounting profession. This past summer I interned at Mauldin & Jenkins in tax and audit. Outside of BAP, I love hanging out with friends, UGA football games, and going on walks! Go Dawgs!! 

Hi everyone! My name is Christina and I am a senior finance major on the Double Dawgs Macc track with an area of emphasis in business analytics! I plan to graduate with my undergraduate degree in May 2026 and a MAcc in May of 2027. Two summers ago, I interned at Tronconi Segarra & Associates, and this past summer I interned at Elliott Davis in Greenville, SC. These opportunities have made me fall in love with accounting and get so excited for what’s to come! UGA Beta Alpha Psi has helped me develop my professional and communication skills and it has really become my home here in the Classic City. Some fun facts about me are that I’m originally from Buffalo, NY (Go Bills!), I get way too into football season, and I love to do pilates. I’m so excited to serve as the VP of Programs this year!
