I approach issues head-on and love the challenge of a difficult or complex project. Working with a team to see an issue from a new angle or producing a creative solution to a complex client problem gets me out of bed.

I started my career in auditing but have transitioned to the tax team. I have a passion for helping mid-market businesses find their way through complicated tax codes. I work closely with several contractors to guide their tax planning and transitions. I currently work with the internal team and Executive Committee of the firm to improve its processes and support its professionals.

Personal

Outside of work, I’m working on my tennis game. My husband and I get to devote our free time to listening to our kids’ band concerts and rooting for them on the basketball or tennis courts. My favorite hobby is hosting dinner parties, which my family of introverts has learned to live with.

“What do I have to learn?” – Ted Lasso

I do not love movies and TV, but I love Ted Lasso. His leadership resonates with me, and like Ted, I try to ask myself often what I can learn or improve upon.
