Life & Career Milestones
My path in life has been direct
1.
Getting turned down for an internship with KPMG. I was taught an important lesson in being authentic in an interview. I brushed off the rejection, and came back and interviewed again in the fall.
2.
Traveling all over the U.S. and overseas with KPMG. It was incredible to be able to use my experiences at KPMG to see so much of the world around us.
3.
Becoming a working parent. That taught me a tremendous amount about being careful with my time to make sure that my family and my colleagues received a balanced amount of my time.
4.
Making partner. I joined an incredible network of owners and entrepreneurs who are on the cutting edge of solving business and technology issues.
Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Society in general:
Working with the government isn’t challenging and won’t make a difference.
How I responded:
Whether you agree with the current elected leaders or not, your local, state, and Federal government have an enormous impact on your life and the lives of those in your community. Working with the government has given me a chance to understand the critical choices that are made to serve a diverse set of needs across our country. I am able to use my knowledge of business and accounting to help transform government agencies to be more accountable and transparent on the use of taxpayer dollars.
