Biography

I have worked for a diverse assortment of companies from household name companies to small not-for-profits as an accountant, analyst, or controller.  Much of my 25 years in accounting and finance was as a contractor, allowing me to see the inside workings of many clients. It is my hope to share this diversity of businesses with the students for funny stories and insights into how companies can operate their accounting functions. 

What I love about teaching is the educational process, which is one of the most important things a person experiences.  And in a great setting, it can be among the most fulfilling of experiences.  We all learn best where we are comfortable, understood, and want to be.  I try to make my classes a place a student wants to be, where they can be confident that they will understand, learn and laugh.

My husband and I love working in the yard, or riding ATVs with family and friends. I am also a big, big movie-goer.
