Hometown:
Cincinnati, Ohio

Can you share a little about your background and what brought you into this field?
I’ve worked in a few account management roles before I settled in accounting with a focus on billing/collections at my previous position. I was at a subsidiary of Kroger where we did Kroger’s couponing and data management. It was interesting to get a behind the scenes’ look at all the various brands that Kroger sells. However, I have always been interested in getting into the legal field and wanted to jump into it at some point in my life. So, I’m very excited to be here.

What are you most looking forward to about your role here?
Feeling like I am contributing to the firm in a positive manner. I want to accept all challenges thrown my way with a smile and “can-do” attitude. At the same time I am very laid back and won’t be afraid to keep things light with a joke or two.

What’s a professional achievement you’re proud of?
When I worked at TQL I was a key member of an account that was the 6th highest revenue generator in the company, out of thousands of accounts. I ran most of the day-to day operations while training new hires on the account.

What’s something you’re passionate about in your work?
Striving for perfection but knowing anything short of perfection can be used as a teaching moment to help you get closer to perfection.

What is your favorite food?
Steak.

Describe your perfect weekend.
Any activity that puts a smile on my kids’ faces. And waking up on the Monday after the Super Bowl after the Bengals finally win one.

What’s something unique about you that others might not know?
I’ve never had coffee nor learned how to ride a bike. I stubbornly say all the time “I’ve made it this far in life without either and I don’t need to start now”. Also, ask me anything about the Reds franchise, I’ll probably know the answer to your question.
