I joined DFS in October 2024 as an Accounting Manager. Throughout my career, I always enjoyed using my knowledge of accounting and internal controls to help clients and organizations be successful. Prior to DFS, I spent several years as a full-time mom and a volunteer accountant and treasurer, serving local nonprofits.
I am a Certified Public Accountant and earned a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Accounting and a Master of Science degree in Accounting from Texas A&M University. I began my career as a staff accountant in the audit practice at Ernst & Young, where I gained experience in financial services, technology, retail, transportation, and employee benefit plan audits. After my time at EY, I worked as a Senior Accountant at Temple-Inland, Inc., where I was responsible for the preparation of consolidated bank financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and performed accounting duties, including financial statement preparation for nine bank subsidiaries and two Real Estate Investment Trusts. While my husband was in graduate school at Texas A&M University, I had the privilege of working at a local CPA firm, Ingram, Wallis & Co. There, I gained experiences ranging from auditing non-profit, governmental, and small business entities to preparing individual income tax returns and exempt organization returns.
I live in Austin, Texas, with my husband Matt, our 3 children (Jordyn, Penelope, and Carson), and our adorable dachshund, Sadie. I’m actively involved at our church and our children’s schools. I enjoy spending time with family, being outdoors, and cheering on our kids at games and band performances.
