About Caroline Cokins
I am a third-year Accounting major with a minor in Education at the Cox School of Business and Simmons School of Education. As a life-long lover of numbers, with a keen interest in how financial data drives business success, I enjoy bringing an analytical and technical approach to maintain financial records and deliver impactful account analysis. Through my varied experiences, such as my Media Finance Manager role at C&A Builders or as an associate at the VIP Suite, I have received hands-on experience managing transactional accounting and understand the skills needed to successfully organize financial records, prepare tax returns, etc. Through this, I’ve developed a strong understanding of how accounting supports decision-making and contributes to overall business strategy. In my free time, I enjoy traveling worldwide. I am seeking an internship for the Spring of 2027 to apply my skills and further my knowledge of accounting.
