Whey Worth It! Cost Accounting at a Leading Dairy Beverage Brand: Dalia Arce, Class of 2018, Accounting Major

In this episode of Beyond the Beach, I talk with Dalia Arce. Dalia was a student in my Business Strategy class in Spring 2018 and graduated from the College of Business with a concentration in Accounting. Dalia works as a financial analyst in the beverage division of French food manufacturer Danone. Our conversation covers topics like the challenge of working two jobs while going to school, how she ended up as a successful cost accountant after not passing the class the first time, the importance of having a good boss and taking advantage of the learning opportunities available to you, the benefits of working for a French company, dealing with imposter syndrome, and the challenge of learning to fit into corporate culture as a first generation college graduate.
