I’m a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) with a Master of Accounting (MAcc) degree from the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. I spent nearly five years in audit practice, where I worked with clients across a variety of industries and gained a deep understanding of financial reporting, internal controls, and audit procedures. Currently, I serve as the general manager of the largest independent retailer of beer, wine, and liquor in the state of Michigan. This role has expanded my experience into retail operations, inventory management, and applying accounting principles in a fast-paced, high-volume business.

My approach focuses on making accounting approachable by connecting textbook concepts to real-life business scenarios. Whether you’re learning the basics of debits and credits or preparing for advanced coursework or the CPA exam, I tailor sessions to your pace and learning style.

My goal is to help you truly understand the “why” behind accounting—not just pass a test, but develop a foundation you can build on. I’m passionate about helping students and professionals gain confidence in their accounting knowledge and succeed in their academic and career journeys.

I hold a Master of Accounting (MAcc) degree from the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business and am a licensed CPA. I spent nearly five years in audit practice, where I worked closely with public and private companies across various industries. Currently, I serve as the general manager of Michigan’s largest independent retailer of beer, wine, and liquor, giving me firsthand experience in operations, financial management, and strategy. My goal is to connect academic business concepts with real-world application to help students truly understand and apply what they’re learning.
CPA

CPA

I am a licensed CPA with a Master’s in Accounting and five years of experience in the audit practice at Deloitte. My background has given me a strong foundation in financial accounting, reporting, and analysis. I’ve passed all four sections of the CPA exam, earning a 90 on FAR, 92 on BEC, 94 on AUD, and 85 on REG. While my professional experience is rooted in audit, my academic training and CPA success have equipped me with a solid grasp of tax accounting concepts, and I can help students connect those principles with real-world applications and exam success.

I have a Master’s in Accounting, am a licensed CPA, and spent five years at Deloitte working in audit and advisory.

Personal Statements

Personal Statements

I’m a licensed CPA with a Master’s in Accounting and five years of audit experience at Deloitte, but beyond numbers, I have a strong passion for writing and storytelling. I’ve helped several students craft compelling personal statements that successfully gained them admission into graduate programs—including medical school, pharmacy school, business school, and other competitive master’s programs. I focus on drawing out each student's unique voice and experiences to create essays that are clear, authentic, and persuasive. The key to every personal statement is to tell a story, finding that part of your story that summarizes your life experience is crucial in crafting your personal statement. Whether you're just getting started or refining a final draft, I can guide you through every step of the process with thoughtful feedback and structure.
