Why did you join UBAA?
"UBAA provided me opportunities to get “comfortable being uncomfortable” while building an extensive professional network."
Adam Wyckoff, CPA
2021-2022 President
Assurance Associate at PWC
What was the most beneficial thing you learned in your time as a member?
"My membership set my entire career into motion. I learned to make relationships that last, as the connections I made through my position on the E-Board secured my Big 4 internship when I was told it wasn't possible because of my GPA. My active involvement in UBAA allowed me to get to know partners and gave me the opportunity to stand out for my personality and skills, separate from my resume and grades."
Anthony DeSimone,
CPA, CMA
1990-1991 VP of Technicals
Executive Director of Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership at UB
