What Motivates me

Hi everyone, I would like to start off by introducing myself my name is Toni Alexiss Martinucci. Italian and proud. My biggest motivators are my family. In this life I was blessed by God with 3 amazing best friends my great grandfather, great grandmother, (who are both deceased and I miss them terribly) and my mother. Education is very important to me, and is also a motivator as well since I would like to pursue a career in the FBI. The reason why I’m at Niagara County Community College is to obtain my associates degree in accounting. I have been very successful here and proud of my accomplishments. I maintained my 4.0 GPA, and I’m a member of Phi Theta Kappa. I plan on transferring to Niagara University next spring to obtain my bachelors then my masters degree to become a CPA. I believe that everyone on earth has a purpose in life and I believe mine is to fight back against those who do wrong by others and win.
