Riyada Copeland, Audit Assistant

Hello, my name is Riyada Copeland. I am a senior in high school with a love for learning, and a heart for serving others. Currently, I'm gearing up for the next chapter of my academic journey at North Dakota State University, where I aim to delve into the fascinating realms of accounting or finance.

My journey into the world of finance and accounting was sparked during my time at Haburn CPA, where I've been fortunate enough to gain hands-on experience since May 2022. It's been a journey of discovery, fueling my curiosity and passion for understanding the intricate workings of financial systems.

During my time outside of work I like to spend my time reading and traveling with my friends and family to see and experience new things. Additionally I am deeply committed to giving back to my community through volunteering. Whether it's lending a hand at local shelters, participating in environmental clean-up efforts, or tutoring younger students, I find immense fulfillment in making a positive impact and fostering connections within my community.

As I eagerly anticipate the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead, I am driven by a desire to learn, grow, and make a meaningful difference in the world. I'm excited to connect with like-minded individuals, mentors, and industry professionals who share my passion and vision.
