Elena Levario, a CPA with years of experience in the banking world, joined us for this episode of the Where Accountants Go podcast.
We originally heard about Elena’s inspiring story while attending a state CPA event, but we didn’t know quite how inspirational it was until we had her join us for the program.
Elena originally migrated to the United States from Mexico with her family at the age of 4. She and her sister were the first in their family to graduate from high school, which was an accomplishment that was highly supported by their mother.
Initially Elena actually wanted to be a nurse, and in fact has a degree in nursing. However, she had to work while in college and during that time realized that she enjoyed business. She remained at the bank where she worked while continuing her education for a second degree, this time in accounting. That accounting degree ended up launching her into the career she has today, as an Assistant Controller with a well-respected bank in the Midland / Odessa area.
If you have ever felt like you had a few life situations working against you, or that it was “too late” to pursue your dream, you need to listen to Elena’s story. You will find inspiration in the tale of how Elena’s career has ended up unfolding.
