The Washington CPA Spring 2021
It’s not really a new hobby, but I’ve enjoyed spending time at home teaching my kids how to cook. We’ve had a lot of fun spending time in the kitchen together and over the last year they have become very independent in cooking and baking!

What is one crazy goal you want to achieve within your lifetime? Swim in all five oceans in the world.
What’s the best advice you can give to someone who just started their career in accounting? Be vocal, always seek out ways to grow your skillset, and ask for opportunities rather than wait for them to be handed to you. Take charge of your own career path. This is an exciting career that can be whatever you want it to be, but we all need the courage to first know ourselves and what we want in a career and then ask for the opportunities to get there.
