## **Where are you from and where did you grow up?**

I grew up in a very small town in upstate New York in the Adirondack mountains. Shortly after I graduated from SUNY Plattsburgh, I moved to Virginia Beach, Virginia.

## **What do you like to do in your free time and who do you like to spend it with?**

I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I love going to the beach and getting out kayaking, playing pickleball and walking my dog Ollie.

## **What's the last book you read or what is your favorite book/series you ever read and why?**

I am currently enjoying working my way through The Bible.

## **What's the next place on your travel bucket list and what will you do there??**

Next on my bucket list is a trip to either Greece or Colorado, hopefully sometime this year.

## If you starred in your own hero action movie, what would be your superhero name and superpower?

My superhero name would be Copycat and I would have the ability to clone myself and be in multiple places at the same time. I so wish this was possible some days.

## **What is one food you can’t live without and why??**

One food I can't live without would be cheese. I love all kinds of cheese!

## **If you knew you were going to be stranded on a deserted island, what three things would you bring with you?**

I would bring my family (I’m going to count that as one), coffee of course, and a kayak!

## **Why did you choose a career in public accounting?**

I chose a career in public accounting because I always loved working with numbers.
