About Me


About Me:

My name is Jason Katz and I am a senior at Penn State. I recently changed majors from IST to accounting. I've always been great with numbers and math has been my favorite subject my whole life. Also in recent years, I have come to the conclusion that I love working and interacting with people. There is so much value in connecting and working with other people from varying backgrounds. I have one older brother who also went to PSU and graduated a little over a year ago. He was a marketing major and now works in the marketing and promotions department for a casino in Atlantic City. I love football, the beach and spending quality time with friends and family.

Annotating

Annotating is a way for the reader to better internalize the material at hand. It allows people to enter the head of the writer with ease and decode what is their message and why did they write this. I often annotate on excerpts  that I either agree with or disagree with heavily. This allows me to further validate my thoughts or possibly rethink them. I try to put myself in the writer's point of view and see where he/she is coming from. Often people annotate important or interesting pieces from the text. If a message or idea is brought up multiple times, I will annotate it for its importance to the author. Clearly they are bringing this thing up again and again for a reason they want to get across. Annotating is tool readers can utilize to better condense and understand the writing that is in front of them.

Among the accountants in my area, there was one in particular I wished to work with. Mrs. Smith was that person. She originally found her way into accounting working a dead end job. Then, she applied to a graduate's assistantship program at Temple University. This opened up the doors for her professionally because she was able to pursue a masters degree in Taxation at Temple, which they paid for as well. This was the opportunity she needed because it has led to her working strictly in the taxation department for her entire career. This focus also allowed her to establish the perfect work-life balance that she wished to achieve, especially with plans to have children in the near future. She now is a manager in the taxation department of a big ten public accountin...
