I am a proud native Texan and military spouse of 24 years, deeply committed to supporting the military community through both professional and volunteer roles. I earned a B.A. in Business from Southwestern University in Georgetown, TX, and my passion for lifelong learning and community service has guided my career and volunteer work.
In my early days as a military spouse, I worked in Army Education Centers at three different duty stations, volunteered at VITA Tax Centers and served in family readiness groups during more than one deployment! These experiences fueled my dedication to helping military families navigate financial challenges.
In 2011, I was honored to be selected as a Military Spouse Fellow by the FINRA Investor Education Foundation. After completing my training in 2013, I became an Accredited Financial Counselor®, dedicating over a decade to educating and advising individuals within the military community. My work has included tax preparation, debt counseling, retirement planning, and college savings guidance, both in person and virtually.
In 2022, I joined Sapphire Bookkeeping & Tax Solutions LLC as a partner, where I continue to serve small businesses and individuals with expert bookkeeping and tax preparation services.
My qualifications and activities include:
- VITA Tax Center Preparer
- AFSP IRS Tax Preparer
- QuickBooks Online Certified ProAdvisor
- Military Family Housing Advocate
I am especially passionate about supporting Veteran-owned small businesses, helping them thrive and achieve lasting success.
