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!
