Hey guys,
I’m Mark Karatoprak. I’m originally from Fort Lee, New Jersey. I go to Seton Hall University where I study finance and economics and plan to graduate in 2011. I am a brother in the Zeta Psi Fraternity of North America where I just served as my chapter’s social chair. I also work for the Stillman Exchange where I was the Assistant Managing Editor this past year.
I was placed in the AICPA, which is the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, by the Wall Street Scholars program. The work is great and to be honest it’s nice putting a shirt and tie on every day and going to work in the city. I work in News Corp.’s Fox News building in a nice area right outside of Times Square.
I’m currently working for several financial literacy projects within the AICPA as well as doing some writing and editing for the Journal of Accountancy which is affiliated with the AICPA. It’s a lot of fun working here and the building is nice (especially my cubicle where I have a Marilyn Monroe poster right above my computer). It’s also nice knowing that the projects I work on are meant to help the community better understand the financial world, and help individuals be more financially independent.
Until next time,
Mark Karatoprak
