I believe that numbers tell stories. I am a number driven, business enthusiast with fifteen years experience in public accounting. My experience includes managing financial statement audits of both public and private companies in a variety of industries including manufacturing, distribution, retail, transportation including rail, and technology. I am skilled in SEC requirements including SOX 404 testing and internal controls compliance. I have experience assisting companies adopting new accounting standards on topics including revenue recognition and leasing. My role at Grant Thornton also provides me opportunities to use my leadership skills to do other things I enjoy such as training and developing others, leading and working as a team, and supporting the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women into leadership positions.
