Hello! I am Tracy Parson!
Currently, I am a junior at Saint Peter’s University studying Accounting and minoring in Business Law. I am the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of my university’s Student Government Association. Being CFO exposed me to the world of making administrative decisions to help the student body and led me to be involved throughout campus.
I have always desired to work/study abroad in Paris. I have been teaching myself the beautiful French language until I began taking classes in college.
I am a hard-working student and employee. I always strive to help people and applaud people for their own endeavors, my passion is to see others happy and spread positivity.
