Q&A:

What was your dream job growing up?

My dream job was to become an architect. I loved the idea of designing buildings and/or spaces that that were both interesting and functional. The neat thing about working in accounting, is that it has a lot of similarities to the engineering side of architecture, especially in relation to planning and consulting.

What is your favorite aspect of your profession?

I enjoy being able to help people. I understand that taxes and accounting are not subjects that most people are familiar with so I strive to help make things as straightforward as possible. With taxes in particular, it is important to me that I can help put my clients at ease in a potentially stressful time of the year.
