What gets me up in the morning are the people I work with; they are my best friends. The people I work with are great and make working at KT fun and enjoyable! I get to learn something new every single day, and I hear that will never change. I love being involved with helping clients actively update their planning to adjust to the various obstacles they are facing.

Senior Manager Tax Department

What gets me up in the morning are the people I work with; they are my best friends. The people I work with are great and make working at KT fun and enjoyable! I get to learn something new every single day, and I hear that will never change. I love being involved with helping clients actively update their planning to adjust to the various obstacles they are facing.

I have been with KT for 9 years. I started in the Business Accounting department as a “full-time intern,” bouncing around between Business Accounting and Tax for a few years before graduating from BHSU. My background in Business Accounting really helped me create a solid accounting foundation before I moved over to Tax. This experience also helped me pass all my CPA exams on the first try!

Currently, I am the Estate Planning leader, a member of the agriculture team, and the leader of the Affordable Care Act reporting team. I also works with many individual clients regarding preparation of returns and tax/estate planning.

Personal

I’m originally from South Heart, ND, a town of about 400 people, if that. I have a brother and sister who have given me the greatest gifts ever – my nieces and nephews! Sports have been a big part of my life since I was little, and now I am quite literally addicted to golf. I love being outside, preferably with a craft beer in my hand!
