As part of the professional standards team, I’m the technical leader for the energy industry. I provide technical accounting and financial reporting support with an emphasis on complex debt and equity, derivatives, employee compensation, mergers and acquisitions, SEC regulatory compliance, and risk management. I’m also actively involved in the training and development of our energy team.
I have over 25 years of experience and focus on distilling complex accounting and reporting topics into easy-to-understand language so that clients and team members can take appropriate actions. I’ve enjoyed helping to grow our oil and gas and energy practices while helping these clients address the challenges they face with running their business.
I’m a member of the AICPA, the Colorado Society of CPAs, and the Council of Petroleum Accountants Societies (COPAS). Additionally, I’m the president of the COPAS Education Foundation, member and past president of COPAS-Colorado, and an advisory board member for Great Education Colorado.
I was named a Top Woman in Energy by the Denver Business Journal in 2018 and have spoken to client and industry groups and firm-sponsored educational events on such topics as financial reporting changes, suggestions for addressing implementation of new guidance, and SEC-related topics.
I received my B.S. in accounting from the University of Texas at Arlington.
