What inspired you to pursue the CPA career path?
My mom was the first one to encourage me to pursue accounting. She described the many opportunities that would be open to me by picking this field, and it inspired me to study it as my major in college.
What professional accomplishment are you most proud of?
A significant accomplishment I’m proud of is attaining my master’s degree while working full time as a tax professional. Completing course work on top of a full busy-season schedule was daunting at the start, but successfully finishing the degree not only deepened my knowledge but also fueled my confidence for future challenges.
What is your next major goal?
My next major goal is to complete the CPA Exam.
What is your favorite thing to do outside of work?
I enjoy spending time outside with my husband and Goldendoodle, mainly playing fetch and going for long walks.
