What inspired you to pursue the CPA career path?

Achieving my CPA license was a pivotal milestone. Immediately after graduating from college, I embarked on a rigorous study regimen, successfully passing all four sections within five months to secure my licensure.
What is your next major goal?
My next major goal is to become a partner at Whittlesey.
What is your favorite thing to do outside of work?
I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, especially my husband and daughter.
