Urja Patel

Tax Intern

A student at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Urja explains that she was drawn to accounting because of her dad, who used to take her to work to observe how to do business. That experience — which Urja describes as “the challenge of solving financial puzzles, and the opportunity to help businesses make informed decisions” — sparked her interest in and passion for the field.

“I was drawn to Market Street Partners because of its strong reputation for excellence and its commitment to fostering professional growth,” Urja says. “As I advance in my career, I’m excited about the opportunity to contribute to impactful client solutions and to deepen my expertise in a dynamic and supportive environment.”

When she’s not at work, Urja enjoys swimming, hiking, and trying restaurants in different cities.

Education: Currently attending the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, pursuing bachelor's in accounting; anticipated graduation in December 2025
