Milestones
My road in life has been direct.
When the foreclosure crisis hit, I was able to apply my experience with large banks and consumer protection issues to solve issues for clients.
Throughout my career, I was presented with stretch opportunities that I hadn't anticipated. Thanks to my strong network of mentors, I got the advice and support I needed to take those opportunities.

What I love about my job is that every single day is different. Most of my work is helping our clients, so historically my work has been related to risk management. I also coach and mentor team members to develop and to meet their career objectives. I'm really passionate about advancing women, and I get to support the advancement of women both inside EY and also with nonprofit organizations and our clients.
