Where do you work, how long have you been there, what do you do? I work at Perry-Smith LLP, a CPA firm in the audit department and have worked there for 6 years. Currently a Vice President of Assurance Services and specialize in Banking and Financial Services, Public Companies, Manufacturing Companies, Not-for-profit organizations and Employee Benefit Plans. I assist in the issuance of an opinion on financial statements by understanding the complexities and risks inherent in a business; examine key financial statement accounts and apply analytical review procedures; provide valuable insight about how a business is performing to management and the board of directors.

What is your educational background? Graduated from CSUS in December 2003, with a degree in Business Administration and a concentration in Accountancy.

What do you love about living here?  I love being outside so probably the weather, the American River Bike Trail, and the close proximity to San Francisco and Lake Tahoe.

What is one thing that might surprise people about you? I’ve run three marathons and LOVE to bake. Okay, I guess that’s two.

When you aren't in the office where can we find you? In spin class, yoga class, on the bike trail or enjoying a glass of wine.
