WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

Professional Passion: Bringing humor and lightheartedness to the office while being a reliable part of the team. I strive to create a positive environment where my colleagues know they can count on me.

Experience:  DP&C has been my introduction to public accounting, and I’m fully committed to growing my knowledge and skills in the field. Since starting in early 2020, I’m making the most of every opportunity to expand my knowledge.

Education: Bachelor’s in Accounting (2020) and Master’s in Accounting (2021) from the University of Washington.

Membership and Activities: WSCPA, Relay for Life, Habitat for Humanity, Pierce County APA, and Tacoma Adopt-A-Spot cleanup.

WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW:

Personal Mission Statement:  Keep an open mind and approach everyone with acceptance and a sense of humor.

Passions after 5pm:  Depends on the weather – I’m either getting completely absorbed by one of numerous nerdy hobbies or I am out in the sun causing a mild ruckus.

You’ll never catch me:  Outside. How ‘bout dat? Seriously though, if the sun isn’t shining, I’m probably home.
