Bio

I am an first generation Accounting and Management Information Systems student at the University of Houston who is passionate about leadership, professional growth, and helping others succeed. Prior to attending university I attended lone star college simultaneously in highschool to obtain my associates degree before graduting high school. I come from a single parent low income household, however I use that as motivation to acheive my accounting goals. After completing my first year with a 4.0 GPA, earning a Deloitte Tax Consultant Internship, serving as Vice President of Beta Alpha Psi(accounting honors organization), and actively participating in NABA, I have developed a strong foundation for my future career. While I take pride in my accomplishments, going into my second year, I am committed to making a positive impact on campus by mentoring students, sharing resources, and helping others achieve their academic and professional goals. I believe success is most meaningful when it can be used to inspire and support those around you. Here is the link to my linkedin :) https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonon-flenningan/

    • Dream career goals:

      With the experience and skills I’ve gained from my accounting career,I will create my own business called “Flenningan Finances,”(name for now) where I will focus on the areas of financial literacy, tax preparation, financial advising, and business consulting, where I will expand my reach to businesses and individuals, helping them to achieve their financial goals. In addition to my business, I plan to create a nonprofit organization that makes financial literacy accessible in underrepresented communities by visiting schools, marking the importance of financial literacy. Within this organization, I aim to create more opportunities for those less fortunate by sharing financial wisdom. In addition to promoting financial literacy, I also plan to establish a scholarship for students of challenging backgrounds. By equipping others with the power of financial knowledge and support, I hope to break cycles of economic hardship and inspire lasting change in the communities that need it most.
