Having obtained my BBA in Marketing from The University of Texas at Austin and my MS Accounting degree from The University of Texas at Dallas, I have worked in a variety of business and accounting environments. I am currently a Certified Public Accountant for Lowrey, Powell, Stevens & Mangum. Some of my responsibilities include working with individuals and corporate clients on a daily, monthly, quarterly, and annual basis by completing bookkeeping functions, preparing financial statements, and filing state and federal tax returns. For the last twenty-three years, I have also co-owned Ernest Ideas Design & Media Group, Inc with my husband. Managing the daily operations, bookkeeping, and tax filings of this photography and design firm are just a few of my regular duties.In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our four boys, along with volunteering at church, my children's schools, and for their Boy Scout Troop.
