With a passion for helping people, I’m where I’m supposed to be. I get to share this passion with both coworkers and clients. I strive to help individuals grow within the firm and work towards providing them with a set of tools to help them be successful. I enjoy answering client questions and helping grow their business. I learn through helping them just as much as they learn from me!
I started working with Ketel Thorstenson, LLP in 2014 and have grown tremendously in my career since then – and I’m not done growing or learning! There are so many moving parts in this profession that I feel like I’ll always be learning and challenged. Being a leader in the tax department has provided me with several responsibilities that allow me to be a part of a firm that is continuing to grow, be a destination employer, and provide top notch client service.
I assist clients with individual tax returns, business tax returns, and serve as a member of the niche group for Agriculture clients. Growing up with a farm/ranching background helps me provide great service to these individuals.
What is great about working in a public firm is the client interaction, team efforts, and the opportunities and challenges that come along with such a diverse group of both coworkers and clients. The advantage for clients is having a one stop shop depending on what their needs are. There are multiple departments and team members that specialize in different areas so that no one person is required to have all the answers.

Personal
My strong work ethic and passion for people shines through both personally and professionally. I am fortunate to have a large extended family and solid foundation of friends. I am married and have three children that my husband and I raised in Sturgis, SD. We enjoy outdoor activities such as riding ATV’s, hunting, lake life, camping, and traveling to new places. I also enjoy reading, hiking, shopping, and being present in whatever each day brings.
I’m a goal setter, and I do a pretty good job at meeting goals that I set for myself – both personally and professionally. I am always striving to get better and be better. We all have strengths and weaknesses, and I may talk too much or ask too many questions – and my kids would agree with that! But it is because I want to learn about someone or something. You should strive to learn something new every day – even if it is something super simple.
