When did you decide to go into the accounting field and why?

I started my education in Math and Engineering.  The entire time I went to college I was working in the accounting field to pay for my education.  I received my first job in design and decided then I really enjoyed my accounting jobs and design was not for me.  I transferred over to Walsh and the rest is history.

I am the treasurer of the Rochester Area Youth Assistance.  This is an amazing organization that works to help families work to create a safe environment for their children.  I heard about this organization through a co-worker and I knew I wanted to be involved.

What is your favorite sports team?

I am a Tigers and Lions fan.  Also, any team my kids play on including Oxford.

What is your favorite type of music (Pop, Rock, Country or Classic)?

I like all types of Music.  I was in choir in High School and it exposed me to a lot of different types.  I use classical for relaxing and getting ready for tests, rock for increasing my energy and I listen to country because my kids like it and you can memorize those songs after the first time hearing them.

What do you like to do in your free time?

In my “free-time” I enjoy hanging with my family.  I hope to enjoy golfing and gardening again someday.  I am also looking forward to reading fiction books again.
