Hello, my name is Carlton Jarmon. I am from Hershey, Pa and I am currently a senior in my 2nd year of the Integrated Macc Program at the Smeal College of Business. The MAcc Program allows me to study for a Bachelor’s in Accounting, Master’s in Accounting, and CPA eligibility through a 5-year curriculum. I have a life goal to use my skills in business to bring more wealth to areas that have consistently encountered barriers to raising the income levels of their residents. In fact, ever since the days when I was young, I have always loved the concept of business and commerce whether it was games of Monopoly or selling toys in class.  Aside from business though, I have an affinity for the human experience. In seeking to learn more about both my place as well as the place of others in our shared society, I have studied abroad over 5 times through Penn State in countries like Tanzania, South Korea, and Spain. I like to say that because of this I can now speak the languages of English, Spanish, Beginner Mandarin, and most importantly, the principles of GAAP accounting. I am always open to conversation so feel free to reach out to me anytime!
