Erick Arias
Bartow, Florida

I am a second-year Accounting student at the University of Florida’s Fisher School of Accounting. I grew up in New Jersey in a Mexican-American family that instilled in me a strong work ethic and the importance of supporting those around me. At UF, I served as Vice President of Professional Activities for my Delta Sigma Pi pledge cohort and participate in the First Generation Leadership Program, where I focus on developing leadership, networking, and professional readiness skills. I also work as a Crew Trainer at Chick-fil-A, where I train new employees and contribute to maintaining efficient operations in a fast-paced environment. Outside of academics and work, I enjoy fitness training, woodworking, volleyball, traveling, and spending time with my family.
