RANDOM FACTS
Movies are great entertainment. However, the quiet warmth of a library along with the aroma of shelved books cannot be topped for avid readers such as myself.
As a child I dreamt of being either a singer or a detective. I can’t carry a tune in a bucket, so I went the detective route, thus forensic accounting.
I find genuine satisfaction in unraveling financial puzzles and conducting intricate monetary analyses. Guiding individuals through the often turbulent litigation process brings me fulfillment in my work. Knowing that my efforts contribute to alleviating stress for my clients fills me with a sense of pride and purpose.
