I live right here in Wright County. I grew up next door in Maple Lake until I graduated high school. I spent 7 years in St. Cloud and then returned here. I have 3 grown children; my two sons are both in the trades and my daughter is in childcare. I have a great husband of 20-plus years, who is also a tradesman. I am very family-orientated in my personal life and business, our team and customers included.
I have been preparing taxes and processing payroll since 2006. I enjoy what I do and I love to see all the familiar faces from year to year. I enjoy watching families and small businesses grow. In the off-season, I like to spend my time doing photography, crafting, and camping.
I grew up in the small town of Howard Lake. I am a U of M alum, graduated back in 2016, and that is where I was able to major in Business and Social Work. For the past 4 years, I have been lucky to be able to work alongside Annette and help prepare our client's taxes, answer any questions that may arise, and ensure accuracy all while staying up to date on new tax regulations or deductions that pertain to every one of our customers.
When I am not at the office, I stay busy with my kiddos or diving into new books all while sipping on coffee-- my weakness. My family are all local folks that still reside in Howard Lake, but our roots take us back to Chihuahua where we still visit quite often, which fun fact is where I met my husband. We are going on almost a decade of being married (in March) and have two beautiful kiddos, one boy and one girl, Alexander (9) and Ayari (5). They both keep us very busy and very entertained.
