What is it about accounting that drew your interest?
Accounting has been fun and interesting to me since high school.  However, I had no idea how interesting the field of public accounting would be. I have continued to be drawn to the profession by gaining advanced training and specializing in fraud detection and deterrence services. I have also found enjoyment in building relationships and alliances with our clients.

What has given you the greatest satisfaction on your job?
Helping clients find better ways to operate their business.  I have also enjoyed helping identify and resolve internal control weaknesses so that the client is less susceptible to fraud.
