Today’s guest is Nicole Bentz. Nicole started her career in risk assurance with PwC and now works in venture capital. Enjoy the read! Grim: Tell us about your background. Nicole: I went to the University of Kansas. I studied accounting in undergrad and got a master's in accounting. When I started at KU, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. I had always enjoyed biology, history and politics, both in school and in my free time. I tried my hand at those, but quickly realized they were not subjects that I wanted to make a career out of. My mom is an accountant and she knew I had always had an interest in business. She suggested that I try accounting as a major. So I did and found that I really excelled at it. Accounting really became the best thing for me. I got really involved in the business school. I was on the student governing board and became a TA for a class. A few professors took me under their wing, exposing me to career possibilities that I wasn’t aware of.
