Q&A with Milei
What inspired you to pursue a career in accounting/tax advisory?
I knew from an early age that I either wanted to become a pediatric neurosurgeon or an accountant. However, one day in my freshman year of high school, while speaking with my cousin, a speech therapist, about my future career, she asked me a very important question… “How would you feel if you lost a patient?” I told her that I would be devastated, and it was at that moment that I decided to pursue a career in accounting.
What's one interesting fact people might not know about you?
Starting in 2006, I have completed 3 full marathons, 2 half marathons, and countless number of 5k’s and 10k’s. I have participated annually in the Great Race of Agoura with my best friend since 2008, with the exception of 2020 – 2022.
What's your go-to way to relax after a busy workday?
Since July 2, 2024, my go-to way to relax after a busy workday has been to watch the Dodger game. Born and raised in Los Angeles, I have always been a Dodger fan, thanks to my father’s love of baseball.
Outside of baseball season, my go-to way to relax after a busy workday is watching reruns of my favorite 80’s & 90’s sitcoms. They remind me of the days when my only responsibility was to be a kid and having great laughs with my grandfather and father while watching these shows.
