Trevor Kessler - President

Trevor Kessler is the President of the Accounting Association for the Spring 2025 semester. As Trevor got more involved with AA, he met his circle of friends at CSUN and more professional doors opened for him than he ever imagined. His goal as President is to extend to our members a similar experience where they will be involved in our community, make lifetime friends, and find the career they never thought possible.

Trevor took a jump from member to Executive Coordinator in the Spring 2024 semester where he was in charge of coordinating the biggest professional development events we offer. In his free time, Trevor strives to live a balanced lifestyle with lots of hiking, working out, and relaxing at the beach. He hopes to build this balance within AA where members can both build themselves socially and professionally throughout their time in our organization.
