Prior to joining Andersen, I worked at EY in the National Tax M&A group.  I was drawn to joining Andersen because of the opportunity for professional growth. With this firm growing at a rapid pace, it really is affording me the opportunity to expand my professional horizon.

Favorite hobby and/or interests outside of the office (ex: sports, travel, music, family, food, art, etc.)?

I am a huge New England Patriots, Boston Celtics, and UNC-Chapel Hill Tar Heels fan. When I’m not watching one of these teams play, I am spending my time boxing, listening to spoken word poetry, or listening to music (R&B, hip-hop and Soca).
