She tells the story of how she harnessed the power of technology and general innovative thinking to ascend from a public accounting staff person to a managing partner, all the while collecting a host of other accolades including chairing her state’s CPA society, winning the Innovative Practices Award and being named among Maryland’s Top 100 Women in Business.  Now, she is overseeing a series of tech and procedural innovations that stand to propel her firm far ahead of the competition.
