Is there any life advice someone has given you that really resonated?

“Always work hard, learn from your mistakes and give 110% in everything you do.”

What are some of your favorite travel destinations?

“My family and I usually travel to Hilton Head every year, so I enjoy going there. Charleston, South Carolina is a neat area too. I lived up in Chicago for a few years so I try to get back there as often as I can. But the one place I’d like to get back to would be Italy, I really enjoyed Italy.”

What are you most looking forward to about being a CPA?

“I think just having that certification and being part of a group of prestigious professionals that work in the profession. My father is a CPA, so to be with him in that designation would be really awesome.”
