2021-2022 Executive Board
Jake Birkmaier
President
I am a Junior double major in operations and accounting with a minor in applied computing. Although I do not plan on working in the Accounting field, I see a large value in thoroughly understanding accounting concepts and practices. I put a large emphasis on recruitment for the IMA and hope to help it grow during my time on exec board. I hope to continue gaining experience leading teams and have already benefited from public speaking opportunities the IMA has presented me with. I am here to help all of our members grow in any way possible.

Caroline Moore
Vice President
I am excited to be working with such a great team of students (and an awesome advisor) to provide Moore School students with the resources to grow both professionally and personally. I believe that every student should have the opportunity to explore their interests; we aim to provide the specific resources necessary for students to engage with many forms of professional development. I am a senior finance and marketing double major with a minor in Spanish, and I’m excited to share my passion for business with our members. If you have any questions about IMA, or please feel free to reach out to me!

Patrick Curley
Treasurer
I am a double major in finance and accounting with aspirations of working in asset management. Having little skill or opportunity to make friends otherwise, I joined the IMA with the hopes of finding a sense of community. The satisfaction I get from being trusted with something is immeasurable. Never in my life have I been given such a massive responsibility than being the treasurer of this organization. A cornerstone of my life, the IMA is a driving force for me to get out of bed in the morning as I am given the opportunity to finally contribute to something. Please join the IMA so we can be friends! See you soon!! feel free to email me even just to chat!!

Jacob Matthew
Director of Communications
I am a Freshman pre-international business major. Although I am new to the IMA, I am inspired by its goals and messages. As a freshman I was bombarded by countless clubs giving things away trying to get me to join, but I joined the IMA after having a conversation with Jake, the president, because I was immediately convinced that this club had so much to offer to me and I had so much to offer to it. I hope in the upcoming years to help the IMA grow to help share the skills and ideas necessary to being successful in the business world that are taught and promoted by the IMA. If you have any questions about me, my journey, the IMA or anything else please contact me.

Sarah O'Connor
Director of Membership
I am thrilled to be a part of such a wonderful team of students who are innovative and hard working. I originally joined IMA to get to know more students in the business school. I wanted to get involved in a club that I felt would help me gain skills that would translate into the workforce and my future career. I believe that IMA provides a fantastic arena to work on these skills in a welcoming environment where we are all learning from each other. I am a junior Accounting major with plans to pursue my Masters in Accountancy after graduation. I have an internship with Elliot Davis this summer in their Tax department. If you have any questions about IMA, getting an internship/the interview process, or accounting in general, please feel free to email me any questions! I would love to chat and help in any way that I can!
