Managing Partner
I have benefited from several “seats” on the Forvis Mazars bus - having been challenged in tax, audit, accounting and financial consulting. Fantastic coaching and the firm’s encouragement to seek new opportunities to grow, have made me a “lifer”.
I am passionate about attracting talented people to join Forvis Mazars and have been responsible for the firm’s recruiting efforts at Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business. In this role, I coordinated FORVIS’ relationship as a Distinguished Corporate Partner with Kelley administrators, faculty and students and the firm’s support of the Kelley Women’s Initiative, the Kelley Office of Diversity Initiatives, the Jellison Living Learning Center and Indiana University Dance Marathon supporting Riley Children's Hospital.
I have also served as a SKY Champion, promoting the firm’s diversity and inclusion strategies by acting as an inclusion advocate, facilitating live educational events, providing recommendations to the SKY Advisory Council and collaborating with other SKY Champions.
I am a member of the American Institute of CPAs and Indiana CPA Society where I help guide the firm’s activities as the Society’s Premier Pipeline Partner, supporting the Indiana Scholars Program and actively helping promote and grow the pipeline of future accountants in the state. I also serve on the Indiana University Accounting Advisory Group, the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, the Indy Chamber of Commerce, and the Greater Indinapolis Progress Committee.
I am a 1988 graduate of Indiana University, Bloomington, with a B.S. degree in business finance.
