Professional Profile
Can you provide a brief overview of your background and professional experience?
I graduated with my master’s in taxation from The University of North Texas and I have my bachelor’s in business/accounting from Texas A&M University -Texarkana. I have worked in public and private accounting for several years, and I am currently coming out of the nonprofit sector where I was Director of Accounting for a prestigious honor society.
What motivated you to pursue a career in your field?
I have always loved helping individuals and businesses grow and after taking a few tax classes in college, I found that I loved the challenge of taxation. After several years in public and private accounting, I am drawn towards the uniqueness each client brings and the relationships that come from those interactions.
Are there personal/ professional goals you are working towards?
I am currently working towards obtaining my CPA.
So, who am I?
I love camping, hiking, riding SXSs and traveling to the mountains. I love crafting and decorating, especially anything with my Cricut machine. Your life in general? I have two grown kiddos who are both married. I have one granddaughter and one grandson. I love spending time and traveling with my kids and grandkids.
My new interest is off-road buggies and trail riding. I am extremely green with this new hobby, and I am so excited to get immersed in that culture and make memories and new friends.
