Biography

I’m a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and a Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA) with professional experience in both public accounting and corporate accounting. My background includes general accounting and financial reporting for a manufacturing company, financial statement audits and internal controls audits for a Big 4 public accounting firm, and SEC financial reporting for a publicly held technology company. I have also worked as a technical writer in the development of continuing professional education courses for CPAs. I have been teaching online accounting courses since 2006 and enjoy the opportunity to assist and support students as they work towards their academic, personal, and professional goals.
