Raksmey Houn Personal Statement

My name is Raksmey Houn and I am a four-year student at California State University, Los Angeles. I transferred from East Los Angeles College in the fall semester of 2016.

My career goals would be to obtain the Certified Public Accountant within five years and to become a skilled and successful accountant and eventually move into management. I have a plan in a place for getting certified in the CPA after I graduate in the next year. I have already taken some credits required of me to qualify for the CPA.
