- Favorite thing about my job: The caliber of people I work with. Everyone I’ve met is so knowledgeable about so many tax & accounting topics, puts the client first, and has a positive attitude.
- Favorite way to celebrate your birthday: Cupcake with ALL the frosting + family & friends
I have an irrational fear of: Rodents, the way they can squeeze into the smallest place & multiply quickly - What is the best dish you can cook: Despite not having an ounce of Italian blood, homemade pizzas. I make the dough & assemble the pizzas, my husband cooks them in our Ooni pizza oven
