I have been on the Board of Directors for the Courtyard Square Condo Association since shortly after I purchased a condo in the building in October of 2003. I was the first homeowner elected to the board and have been reelected every year since. I am the only board member to have a financial background and have worked very hard to reduce our condo fees from $250 per unit per month in 2004 to $190 per unit per month currently, while steadily increasing the association's reserve account and improving the overall living experience. I enjoy the people I work with on the Board and appreciate the opportunity to make our building a better place to live.

I am active in my community through my church, Old St. Mary Parish. I have served as a parish trustee or finance council member for the past ten years. Old St. Mary Parish is the oldest church in the city of Milwaukee and strives to serve the downtown neighborhood through Eucharist, prayer, and service to others. Old St. Mary Parish supports many local programs including the Riverwest Food Pantry, St. Ben’s Community Meal Program, Dryhootch, and House of Peace. I am currently on the finance council.

Prior to joining Cleary Gull, I worked for three years at the Milwaukee office of Deloitte & Touche LLP, where I was a Senior Accountant in their Assurance and Advisory practice. I worked on the audit teams of a number of middle and large cap public and private companies in the manufacturing, construction, and technology industries including Rockwell Automation Inc., Oshkosh Corporation, Renaissance Learning, Payne and Dolan, Inc., Metavante Corporation and Kohler Co. Well at Deloitte, I earned the professional designation of C.P.A. and am currently licensed in the State of Wisconsin.

I gained valuable experience as a staff accountant at KKCPA while attending Marquette University. I helped small to medium size businesses put together monthly financial statements, individual and corporate tax returns and complete other goverment filings (i.e. incorporation filings, property tax reports and sales tax forms). I worked part time during the school year and full time while on break from classes.
