Mackenzie Hoeflinger

My name is Mackenzie Hoeflinger, a Finance Sophomore with Minors in Accounting and Business Data Analytics, from Hightstown, NJ. I chose to become a Neidermeyer Scholar to help support my peers and also further about own knowledge about accounting. I wish I knew as a Freshman to take advantage of all the academic resources that WVU has to offer. The student-led programs such as Neidermeyer Scholars can drastically improve understanding and grades. Apart from the Chambers College, I am also the Vice President of Finance & Housing for Alpha Phi and a member of Alpha Kappa Psi. Both of these extracurriculars have taught me so much about business finance and professional skills. When I first came to WVU, I was uneasy about trying new things and reaching out to new people. I did not know anyone when I came to school so I needed to branch out. Now that I have joined clubs and found an on-campus job, I realize how crucial it is to my college experience. I have been able to make connections with peers, develop myself as a professional, and much more, all while receiving an education.
