Mark Revesai, Accounting major at Nichols College, talked about the obstacles he’s had to overcome throughout his life and how he stayed positive despite the setbacks.
Revesai, 51, worked as an internal auditor back in his home country of Zimbabwe where he received his banking certification from the Institute of Bankers. In 2002, Revesai came to the U.S.
Revesai wanted to continue working in accounting at MWCC, saying, “Most auditors have accounting backgrounds and, therefore, it would be the best way for me to get back to the audit field.” However, they denied his credentials and he had no option but to start from scratch.
