Most recently, I’ve been focused on leading an internal initiative called “Plan Ahead” that’s become our framework for keeping our staff and clients safe amid COVID-19 as well as a phased approach for returning to offices. This includes providing staff with a playbook for returning to offices and client sites safely, developing a framework for daily health checks and contact tracing, and monitoring guidance from the CDC as well as federal, state, county, and city orders. I wish everyone could witness just how much care and concern we put into each decision. It’s been the embodiment of our ‘We care’ culture.

Since joining the firm in 1985, I’ve had the opportunity to take on a number of leadership roles. I served as the industry group leader of our K-12 practice, where I oversaw the firm’s audit, consulting, and business advisory services and helped build and grow our district and charter school practices. I also serve clients in the insurance industry and have made significant contributions to that industry’s overall growth and success.

After heading the K-12 practice for several years, I was asked to become the office managing partner of our Auburn Hills location, one of the firm’s largest offices. There, I had the opportunity to interact with partners and staff by supporting career development and professional growth and providing guidance for staff to identify opportunities on their career path. I’ve always had passion to help others achieve their professional goals –– in fact, it’s what attracted me to my current position.

While I’m committed to the firm, I’m equally committed to my alma mater, Michigan State University, and I continue to support MSU through various fundraising and volunteer activities.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, practicing yoga, and spending time with family and friends.
