Her experience at Deloitte started with Luis Castro, Managing Director at Deloitte, who supervised her as a student at Cristo Rey and is now a trusted mentor. “Luis knew about my interest in accounting and since then has been a great guide and mentor for the past three years of college to this day. He provided me with several great tips on how to further succeed in my career, and for that I am extremely grateful,” stated Flores.

As a student associate, Susana worked within the One Team Department delivering a full range of administrative services and support to Deloitte professionals, clients, and guests. This workplace exposure helped her build fundamental skills that have propelled her early career and confidence going forward. Her success in high school and the Corporate Work Study Program resulted in an acceptance to the University of St. Thomas, where she currently attends and is majoring in a Bachelor’s of Business Administration Degree and Master’s of Business Administration.

When selecting a field of study in college, Susana took it upon herself to take several career aptitude quizzes to explore her options. The results ultimately led her right back to her mentor, Luis, whose guidance helped her navigate and find success in her college experience.

During her sophomore year in college, Luis introduced Susana to the Pioneer Internship at Deloitte where she worked side-by-side with professionals from practice areas such as audit, tax, and advisory sectors. Upon completion of the internship, the Deloitte team invited her back, yet again - this time for the Discovery Internship, where she gained experience with hands-on projects that made a real impact for the global company.

This year, Susana celebrates another milestone as she completes her third college internship with Deloitte. Susana is currently pursuing the five-year BBA and MBA program at her alma mater while challenging herself to graduate a semester early this upcoming December.

Upon her final year in college before entering the workforce, she continues to lean on Luis for mentorship and advice as she embarks upon a fourth internship with Deloitte in summer 2023. Her story continues in Suite 4500 with her optimistic mindset, but this time, without sweaty palms.
