I joined DBM in January 2026, bringing more than two decades of administrative experience from a local McGladrey Alliance firm. Born and raised in Sonoma County, I am proud to continue my career serving the community I call home. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Human Development from the University of California, Davis.

Outside of work, I enjoy watching my son play high school football and cheering on the Oregon Ducks, where my other son attends college. I also love taking my dogs on their daily walks, playing pickleball, and catching live music with my husband.

Experience and Expertise:
I was born and raised in Sonoma County and hope to always call it my home. I began my career in public accounting in 2012 after graduating from Sonoma State, earning my CPA license about 18 months later. I specialize in taxation with an emphasis on flow-through entities and high net worth individuals.

Education and Certifications:
Bachelor of Science in Business Administration – Accounting, Sonoma State University
Associate of Arts, Business Administration, Santa Rosa Junior College
Associate of Arts, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Santa Rosa Junior College
Certified Public Accountant, California

Hobbies/Interests:
I have always been heavily into music, which is evidenced by my instrument collection as well as my record collection. I play drums, bass, guitar, and a little bit of piano. I do a radio show at a local non-profit station, KSVY-FM 91.3 in Sonoma, and also serve on the parent company’s board of directors. In addition, I love good food and good wine, craft beer, and cooking. My latest obsession is tacos. I have so far made carnitas and birria from scratch, and al pastor and carne asada are next.

Experience

I spent many years in computer support until an industry downturn sent me back to school to earn a long-delayed four-year degree.  Because computer support offered a high degree of career flexibility, I pursued a degree with similar flexibility and graduated from Sonoma State University with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a dual concentration in accounting and finance.

The flexibility of my degree led me to roles in public accounting, private accounting and a ten-year career with the IRS as a Revenue Agent and Appeals Officer.  I also spent about four years as a solo CPA specializing in helping taxpayers resolve their tax issues with federal and state tax authorities, as well as advising small businesses on how to protect themselves from fraud.  I’ve merged my practice with DBM in order to offer my specialized services to even more clients who need tax representation or forensic accounting services.

In my personal time, I love to spend time with family, hike, cook delicious food, follow SF Giants baseball and keep up with the latest in books and film.  I’m also involved with a local Rotary club, serving as fundraising chair in 2023-2024 and club president in 2025-26.

I graduated from Sonoma State University in 2020 where I obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with a Concentration in Accounting. After graduating I began my career with a local CPA firm based out of downtown Santa Rosa that eventually combined with a larger regional CPA firm based out of San Francisco, where I learned the vast majority of my tax technical skills.

In my free time I enjoy playing golf with family and friends as well as visiting Oracle Park to watch San Francisco Giants baseball.

I began my career in public accounting at PwC in January 2020, where I gained valuable experience before transitioning to KPMG. In January 2025, I joined DBMCPA to further advance my career in the accounting field.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting, earned from Sonoma State University in 2019.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active by playing basketball and spending time at the gym.

Before I began my accounting career at DBMCPA in January 2025, I was a full time student at Sonoma State University and held a part time position during my seasonal breaks at a small family owned business called Animal Reproduction Systems (“ARS”). During my time at ARS I worked in warehouse management, shipping, and product production.

I attended Sonoma State University in 2019 as a Computer Science Major before switching to Business Administration in the Fall of 2022. I graduated from Sonoma State University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting in December 2024.

In my free time, I love playing volleyball and basketball. I also enjoy taking day trips to San Francisco to enjoy the architecture, fine dining, and beautiful views of the city.

I started my career in public accounting in 2020 and joined DBMCPA in January 2024.

I attended Santa Rosa Junior College before transferring to Sonoma State University, where I obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with concentrations in Accounting and Financial Management.

In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball, watching sports, and camping.

After graduating from Sonoma State University in 1993 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration, with an Accounting Concentration I began my foray into tax work as a Revenue Agent at the Internal Revenue Service.

I spent three years at the IRS after which I went into public accounting with PricewaterhouseCoopers in their Personal Financial Services group working with high-net-worth individuals on their personal, trust, and gift taxes. Since leaving the Big 4 my experience has ranged from working at a large regional firm to a small two CPA office, and most recently running my own tax practice.  Having worked at DBMCPA for a short time in 2012 I am so happy to be back with this terrific group of people.

When I am not working, I enjoy watching my son, and the Giant’s, play baseball. I can also be found taking my dog, Emma, on long walks around our neighborhood.

I am originally from San Luis Obispo, California. I graduated from St. Mary’s College of California and have been a CPA since 1988.  I have worked in the public accounting field for over 35 years, first with a mid-sized firm in Redwood City, and then on to my own tax, accounting, and audit firm after I moved from Hayward to Rohnert Park in 1991.  I have been active in community non-profit organizations over the years including the Madrone Audubon Society, the Rohnert Park Chamber of Commerce, and the Rancho Cotate Boosters. I have over 15 years’ experience with not-for-profit, school district and governmental audits, and over 35 year experience with individual, corporate, partnership and non-profit tax preparation and accounting services.  I was also a founding member of the Rohnert Park Mothers Club and am very grateful to have raised my 5 boys in the wonderful community of Sonoma County.

On my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I enjoy relaxing hikes and spontaneous trips to the beach. I enjoy conversations with friends over a nice dinner and a glass of wine.
