In your own words, what is different about DRDA? (What stands out to you about the firm’s culture, mission, or team?)  What stands out most about DRDA is how supportive everyone is. People are always willing to help, share knowledge, and show up for one another. It’s a firm that truly practices what it preaches by treating both clients and staff like family.

What do you find most rewarding about your role (or being an accountant, if applicable)? (What gives you satisfaction or purpose in your work)

I love being able to give business owners peace of mind and help families plan for a secure future. Knowing that the work I do can create stability and have a lasting impact for generations is incredibly fulfilling.

How did you choose your career path (or how did you get into accounting)? (Tell us what inspired or led you here.)

I grew up in a family of entrepreneurs, so I was always surrounded by both people and numbers. I loved both and never wanted to choose just one. I started my career in tax compliance and eventually found my way into advisory work, which I truly enjoy because it allows me to combine relationship‑building with strategic problem‑solving.

In your own words, what is your job description? (Describe what you do and how you help clients or the team.)

My role goes beyond tax advisory. I’m an advocate, coach, and trusted counselor for my clients. I walk alongside them as they implement advanced tax strategies, helping them feel confident, informed, and supported throughout the process.
