What are you doing to make a difference in the profession, your community, the world?

I have a drive to help people and ensure they get connected to proper resources to address their issues. I have always taken a holistic approach to supporting my clients and encourage a high level of collaboration with and among the client’s professional advisors. I responded to the public health crisis by diversifying my firm’s focus from tax season deadlines to helping clients mitigate the impact of the pandemic and navigate the various relief programs. Our team has been extremely proactive with our outreach efforts and by cross engaging our clients with professional referral partners on the ever-changing landscape of relief measures, the CARES Act, PPP and EIDL loans, and more.

The pandemic and the economic fallout are far from over. My firm will continue to provide top of the line support for our clients and the greater community as they rebound from economic hardship.
