Born and raised in northern Wisconsin, I attended Prentice High School and received my A.A.S. in Accounting from Northcentral Technical College located in Wausau, Wisconsin. While seasonally employed as a tax accountant with Hawkins, Ash, Baptie & Company, LLP, I am currently pursuing my B.S. in Accounting through Upper Iowa University, to subsequently earn my MBA with a concentration in Accounting at Lakeland College in order to sit for the CPA exam in the State of Wisconsin. When not buried in heaps of tax code, I enjoy hobbies such as beta testing, digital photography, astrology, and even crocheting.
