I have a degree in Business Management and have been working in accounting since 2017. I’m proficient in SAP, Microsoft Office, Banyon, QuickBooks, and various other programs. Working at Burkhardt & Burkhardt pushes me to learn more each season and I’ve also taken on a couple of payroll clients. My goal is to continue learning new systems as they develop over time as well as changes to policies and payroll.

Outside of work I have two cats and am a huge animal lover. I try to read at least 10 books each year and attend a few concerts. I also enjoy board games, cribbage, swimming, paddle boarding, and traveling. In the next 10 years or less I’d like to visit the Great Barrier Reef and Greece.
