EXPERTISE: Tax Generalist
- Favorite thing about my job: Being new to the accounting field, Prosperity Partners has given me a place to grow and build upon my technical skills. Having a communicative and responsive group of team members will allow me to continue to grow into the tax professional I hope to be one day!
- Favorite workout: My favorite workout is the back squat because I do not want to have a big upper body and small legs….
- Favorite sport to play: My favorite sport to play is basketball. I played all throughout middle school and high school and still enjoy playing pick up when the weather allows.
