If you weren’t an accountant/consultant, what would you be?

I love making (and eating) dessert, so I would own a bakery or an ice cream shop.

What excites you most about the future of your industry?

Our industry is always moving and changing. I love to learn, so it’s exciting to continually have something new to understand.

What advice would you give to the next generation of CPAs and Advisors?

Be a sponge. Take in as much knowledge as you can from the people around you, ask questions often, and make it a habit to understand the “why” behind every task or decision.

If you had a theme song, what would it be?
