My Story

My career journey is marked by a strong foundation in agriculture, where early life on a farm taught me work ethic and accountability. With a Bachelor of Science Degree in Animal and Plant Systems from the University of Minnesota, I initially specialized in beef production but soon found a passion for numbers and accounting. My versatility led me to manage office operations in different sectors, including a livestock auction market, an electrician’s office, and a large dairy farm’s H2A program administration. These roles have highlighted adaptability, problem-solving skills, and commitment to supporting others.

In 2018, I entered the consulting world, where my self-taught bookkeeping skills and role as a QuickBooks ProAdvisor and Operations Manager allowed me to excel. This experience underscored my ability to learn and adapt, driving success in various industries. This journey exemplifies the importance of stepping outside one’s comfort zone and embracing continuous learning, which has led to personal and professional growth beyond expectation.

Our Boston/Pug, Remi, adds excitement, joy, and companionship to our busy lives. To maintain balance and fulfillment to my busy life, I like to garden, fish, hike, travel, visit wineries and spend time with friends and family.
