Jordyn’s dream was to be a lawyer, but after doing research she decided to pursue a career in accounting instead. During this time she became a resident assistant, an INROADS scholar, an executive leadership council scholar, and a member of AICPA. Jordyn also interned three times with PwC, a Big Four accounting firm.

“I want to continue to increase the pipeline of Black CPAs because it’s less than 3%,” Jordyn told Black Enterprise. “That’s my why and my drive for doing what I do. I want to show young Black girls and boys that there are other career options out there. Accounting is a great profession.”

Morgan decided to pursue a career in mass communication, because she has always love public speaking. During school she became a member of the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) and the National Millennial & Generation Z Community. Morgan is a published writer and a Marketing & Communications Specialist for the Center for Minority Health & Health Disparities Research & Research at Xavier’s College of Pharmacy.

“I chose the strategic communication route,” Morgan said. “In the future, I want to work with companies and brands to help them design and execute community engagement strategies that really enhance their brand appeal and make them resonate with marginalized audiences.”

Jordyn and Morgan are both members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and both of them received Dean’s list and honor society recognition. Now Jordyn is set to pursue her Master’s degree program in Accounting and Morgan will start her Master’s degree in Journalism at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
