Good morning. Greg McKenna here, filling in for Sheryl today. Becoming a certified public accountant proved a springboard for Sandy Torchia’s career. A first-generation college student and granddaughter of Mexican immigrants, she’s now in her 28th year at KPMG. Previously the national managing partner of the firm’s advisory business, she now serves as its vice chair of talent and culture.
If she had needed an extra year of school just to get her CPA license, however, Torchia says she would have decided to avoid the profession altogether.
