As a proud New Yorker of almost 20 years, I can firmly say the people make it the best city in the world. New Yorkers are resilient and dependable, and there’s nothing I enjoy more than spending time in NYC.
People from all over the world come to NYC for their own reasons. Some come to join our city’s talented professionals, while others visit to enjoy our incredible parks, shows, museums, shops, restaurants, and nightlife. Regardless of what brings them to the city, there is a laundry list of reasons people find to stay and make NYC their home.
I was born in New York and moved to Florida when I was very young. A few years after college, I moved back, knowing that there was no other place in the world that I would want to further launch my career and place my roots. My love for NYC began early on and was reignited when I returned. For me, NYC is not only my home, but I have had a unique opportunity to build my life and also raise my family.
As you’ll soon learn, New York has so much to offer and I hope you make the time to explore this great City—while you’re working with KPMG Ignition New York. We’re so excited to have you!
Our warmest welcome,
