Live a life that somehow creates value for others. That's the motto I live by. When I'm not working on a project, getting on top of the mountain, or taking photos, I am constantly looking for ways to make a positive impact in the world.Professionally, I firmly believe my accounting and marketing backgrounds complement each other to create synergy. Accounting helps me develop the soft skills of being able to filter through "noise" to find relevant data for analytical procedures and practicing professional skepticism to maintain a questioning mind. My Marketing background brings a empathetic perspective to our client needs as well as further enhancing my communication skills.I combine the soft skills from both my backgrounds to bring a fresh and unique perspective onto the team."Most people are as happy as they make up their minds to be" - Abraham Lincoln
