What inspired you to pursue the CPA career path?

I chose accounting because of the diverse opportunities that exist throughout a career in accounting, even when just starting out. I've been fortunate to take advantage of many of these opportunities, both through client service and working in Deloitte's national office. It's been great to work with strong mentors, other professionals, and clients who have helped me grow.

What professional accomplishment are you most proud of?

I am proud that in addition to my client service responsibilities, for three years I held a role in Deloitte's National Office Monitoring Group, supporting engagement teams undergoing PCAOB broker-dealer inspections.

What is your next major goal?

My next goal is to become a leader at Deloitte & Touche LLP and in the profession and to continue to make an impact that matters for both our profession and in the marketplace.

What is your favorite thing to do outside of work?

I like to spend time with my husband and two daughters. We love to travel and enjoy beach vacations.
