About Me
My name is Michael Palmer, and I am an accounting undergraduate at UNH's Paul College of Business and Economics. Before studying accounting, I studied Computer Science at UNH's College of Engineering and Physical Sciences for two years. Prior to attending the University of New Hampshire, I studied at the Florida Institute of Technology for a year while playing on their golf team. The computer science coursework that I have completed will allow me to bring a technically savvy mindset to any project or problem that I will face in the accounting program.
