What inspired you to pursue the CPA career path?
Once I completed my degree, it was the next natural step in my career. I was fortunate UConn provided excellent preparation and encouragement, which gave me confidence that I could be successful as a CPA.
What professional accomplishment are you most proud of?
I will never forget the thrill and exhilaration of receiving the news that I had passed the CPA Exam. When I passed, we were notified by mail and everyone knew exactly what day the results would arrive. I was on vacation but called my roommate to open the envelope and read me the results.
What is your next major goal?
Electric Boat is in a phase of tremendous growth. My goal is to share my knowledge and expertise to help our company develop the next generation of CPAs.
What is your favorite thing to do outside of work?
I have grown twins and we enjoy getting together as often as schedules allow. I also have twin Maltese dogs that keep me busy. I am lucky to live near the beautiful Rhode Island beaches where we all spend a lot of time.
