Week 1: Intro to Me!

Hello Everyone!

My name is Megan Janik, and I am a junior majoring in Accounting at Benedictine University in Lisle, IL. My journey in accounting began at Lockport Township High School, where I first discovered my interest in the field, and it has continued to grow here at Benedictine University as I deepen my knowledge and skills. 

I come from a big family with six siblings, which makes life always lively and full of fun. Whether we’re spending time together or learning from each other’s experiences, being part of a large family has taught me the value of teamwork, patience, and support.

I also have a deep passion for my Polish Highlander culture, which I love celebrating through traditional dance and community involvement. It’s an important part of who I am and a source of pride and joy.

When I’m not attending classes in the Daniel L. Goodwin College of Business, you’ll find me involved in a variety of activities. I serve as the Vice President of the Accounting Club, an AJS Scholar, and the Event Coordinator for the Badminton Club. I currently work at GPL Industries which is a metal industry, and soon will be starting my internship at Sassetti LLC as an Audit Intern. 

I’m particularly excited about the opportunity to explore AI technology in this course. As AI continues to transform industries, including accounting, I’m eager to learn how it can streamline processes, enhance decision-making, and improve problem-solving. I’m looking forward to gaining hands-on experience with this innovative technology and discovering new ways to apply it in both academic and professional settings.
