Life as an Accountant
As a Senior Audit & Tax Accountant at Novogradac & Company, I provide various attestation and consulting services, as well as federal, state and local tax services, for developers, syndicators, and investors subject to the regulatory requirements of the low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) incentive. I value making an impact on the world around me through my professional endeavors. Throughout Novogradac's history, the firm has specialized in tax incentives and related activities designed to benefit communities in need. Not only do I enjoy working in the affordable housing industry, but I also enjoy engaging with the firm's Social Impact Office. As a board member of the Novogradac Women & Allies Employee Resource Group, I have the privilege of collaborating with the Social Impact Office to provide an inclusive community at the firm that encourages professional and personal development opportunities, while creating awareness around issues facing women in the workplace.
Choosing Mount Union
My mom, two aunts, and two uncles all attended Mount Union. I grew up hearing stories about the professionals at Mount, fun times, involvements in fraternity & sorority life, and everything in between. Mount Union was the easiest and best choice I could have made. So, choosing Mount Union was like coming home. While at Mount Union, I was very involved with fraternity & sorority life. I was President of Alpha Delta Pi, President of Order of Omega, and Lead Coordinator of Greek Member Academy. My involvements provided me with hands-on leadership training, an expansive professional network, and a safe place to learn difficult concepts.
Career Goals in Accounting
Throughout my career, it is my goal to prioritize giving back to the organizations and communities that have given me so much. I am particularly passionate about the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation. Currently, I serve on the Advisory Council to provide insight regarding young alumnae to the Board of Trustees to the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation. I look forward to continue giving and volunteering, as well as getting involved with the Mount Union Fund.
