Life & Career Milestones

My path in life has been direct

  • 1.

    Grew up less fortunate than others financially.

  • 2.

    Didn't understand the whole college route. College applications, financial aid, scholarships, grants, room and board, time management, etc.

  • 3.

    Struggled paying for college, worked three jobs during school to pay for school and to pay bills but also had to find time to go to class and study.

  • 4.

    Started at a small firm and realized school didn't really prepare me for the real tax world.

  • 5.

    Went to Deloitte after 3 years. Solidified my compliance skills and began to delve into the provision world.

  • 6.

    Had great mentors throughout my career. Solidified my provision skills.
