Her favorite part about working at Hawthorne & Co. CPAs is getting to know and connecting with her coworkers, which also helps her understand how to better assist people when they need it. She also appreciates the challenges that drew her to the role originally.

“I enjoy it when there are moments that push my boundaries because it helps me learn and think of various ways to do things.”

Challenging yourself and gaining and/or improving on existing skills are two functions that Kao Sua finds very helpful and important. Her advice to young professionals is to not focus on the future so much, especially when it comes to certain things you can’t control. She advises focusing on the present instead because it helps with building better skill sets for your future.

Outside of work, Kao Sua loves trying new things. Whether it’s traveling to a new place, trying a new local restaurant, or finding a new recipe, she always enjoys a new experience. One of Kao Sua’s life goals is to travel the world to experience as many different cultures as she can. However, when she isn’t able to travel, Kao Sua is happy visiting the beach or spending time cooking and trying out new recipes. Many people might not know this about Kao Sua, but she loves cooking and always tries to add a twist to a new recipe to make it her own.
