Subcommittee
Bio: I began my accounting career in 1997, working as a staff accountant at a CPA firm in southern California. Although I appreciated the public accounting work, I found I was more interested in tax accounting, and was promoted to the position of tax manager at that firm.

I moved to Oregon to start a family, and worked part-time as an accountant on and off at various companies, but really wanted to get back to taxes. In 2011, I was able to realize that dream by buying the franchise I was working for, a Liberty Tax Service. In 2019, a few employees from that company decided to separate and become a new corporation, which I now lead in McMinnville, Oregon.

Throughout my tax career here in Oregon, I have had the privilege of working with the staff and volunteers of the Oregon Board of Tax Practitioners. I am proud to be a Tax Consultant in this state, where we maintain the highest standards for our tax professionals, and I would be honored to serve with the esteemed men and women in that capacity.
