My husband and our two boys love to travel — especially to the beach. Spending time with my family is always a priority, and I look forward to planning our trips and getaways each year.

Experience

With a specialty in government, I provide assurance and consulting services to cities, counties, townships, villages, and governmental authorities. As a member of the firm’s Government Accounting Professionals (PMGAP) group, I also provide permanent and temporary accounting assistance for all types of governments.

My father was an accountant, and this area of business always intrigued me. I knew I needed a profession where I could serve others. Public accounting was a perfect marriage of accounting and client service. I’m confident my clients recognize my dedication to — and enjoyment of — this career. I have a strong passion for serving them, and I deeply care about their mission and success. They know I can help solve their problems and move their departments and projects forward.

I’m a member of the AICPA, the Michigan Association of CPAs, the Florida Government Finance Officers Association, and the Michigan Government Finance Officers Association where I chair the professional development committee. I’m also a board member for the Farmington/Farmington Hills Foundation for Youth and Families. I earned a B.B.A. in accounting and finance and an M.S. in accounting from the University of Michigan – Dearborn.

I spend my free time with my immediate and extended family. I love watching my kids play sports. I never saw myself as a soccer mom, but it’s a title I’m proud to have. Seeing them enjoy and grow in the sport always makes me smile.
