Introductions
1

Hi APG! :wave:

I’m Priya Deshmukh, and I’m making a career change into finance and accounting. Coming from a different field, I’m drawn to the profession’s combination of analytical thinking and real-world impact.

My background:

  • Previously in technology project management
  • Now pursuing accounting credentials
  • Especially interested in networking and professional development

I joined APG because I wanted to learn from experienced professionals and build connections in the industry. The community here seems incredibly welcoming, and the courses on LearnWorlds are helping me build my foundation.

Looking forward to connecting with all of you! :star2:
