As a young man, Nazario Esquea traveled to the United States as a tourist. It was not until 1995 that he made his last trip and settled in Lawrence as a permanent resident. He was 36 years old then.
His passion was always numbers. In his native Dominican Republic, he studied Technical Level in Accounting but never obtained a university degree, which was always his ambition.
For eight years, Esquea has worked as Data Entry Clerk or tax collector as he calls it, in the City of Lawrence. While working, he enrolled at Northern Essex Community College where he graduated in 2016, with an Associate Degree in Accounting.
Age has never been an impediment to Nazario, but an incentive. After obtaining his NECC degree, he enrolled at Southern New Hampshire University from where he will graduate on May 3 of this year with a Bachelor’s degree.
Currently, Nazario is 59 years old and still wants to reach a higher goal, he will not finish until he gets his Certified Public Accountant (CPA) title that, according to him, will take another year.
When many at this age are already dreaming of retirement, Nazario Esquea has just opened his own business, an office, where in addition to offering accounting services to his clients; he can serve as a tax planner as well as a financial advisor.
From these pages we congratulate Nazario for his achievements, convinced that he will accomplish his future goals because of his tenacity.
