Senior, Enrolled Agent
Nonprofit | Individuals
I’m all about keeping an open dialogue with my clients so they feel comfortable reaching out to me as a trusted advisor in their financial life.
Most of my work centers on serving nonprofits and individuals, helping people move toward retirement and navigate estate‑planning considerations within a complicated tax system. I enjoy working directly with people and supporting them through the financial moments that shape their daily lives.
I became an accountant because I wanted to help people make sense of a tax landscape that often feels overwhelming. Over the years, I’ve learned that solid communication and steady guidance can make all the difference.
Giving back is important to me, and my favorite way to do that is by participating in conventions and mentoring young professionals. I know that starting in the accounting profession can be tough for anyone, including myself. Always looking for opportunities to provide guidance to anyone trying to find their path.
Find me at a Mariner game, on the hood canal, or up in the mountains before busy season starts!

My first job was at FX McRory’s Steak Chop and Oyster House down by the stadiums, where I worked for six years on gamedays.
In college, I competed as a student‑athlete on the University of Portland’s Division I cross‑country team, an experience that taught me discipline, resilience, and how to thrive under pressure.
If I had extra time, I’d spend it learning a new trade like woodworking or electronics. I don’t work with my hands much in my day job, so the idea of building or fixing something from scratch really appeals to me.
