Jenni comes to us with a wealth of accounting and administration experience having <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">worked as a CPA for the past 20 years.

I graduated with a BBA in Accounting and Finance in 1998 and a Master&#8217;s of Accountancy in 1999. I&#8217;ve always loved the idea of giving back to COBA and ACU and, when the opportunity presented itself, I couldn&#8217;t pass it up.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Looking forward, Jenni says, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt is so interesting to me how higher education has evolved since I was a student. I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing that in action and learning how our faculty integrates faith and learning in the classroom in new ways.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-6142\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coba\/files\/2020\/09\/20190725-047-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We asked Jenni to share a little about herself and she told us,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u201cMy family is very important to me &#8211; I have two nieces and spend much of my time and energy with them. I love to travel and explore new places. The art of Dale Chihuly particularly captured my interest a few years ago after a trip to Seattle. Something surprising <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">[about me]<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: one interesting experience I had in a former job was visiting an oil production platform offshore in the Dutch sector of the North Sea.\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jenni was also one of the first students to enter the MAcc program at ACU.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As a product of COBA and ACU, Jenni is a living, breathing example of alumni that carry the vision of the college, <em>to honor God and bless the world<\/em>, into the workplace.
