My journey in accounting began before I graduated high school. Initially placed in a small accounting firm to assist with secretarial tasks, I quickly found myself diving into accounting work and discovered I really enjoyed it. Then, in 1985, CEC acquired the firm I was working at, and here I am, 40 years later, still thriving in this field.
I’m an IRS Enrolled Agent, Accredited Business Accountant, and QuickBooks Pro Advisor. I genuinely enjoy working with people, building long-term relationships, and treating clients like family—which is very important to me.
Outside of work, you’ll find me playing pickleball, golfing, camping, or shopping. I'm a member of the St. James Catholic Church Women’s Club in my community. But most of all, I enjoy spending quality time with my four grandchildren and family. Life is all about balance and cherishing the moments that matter most!
