Numbers... $$ signs... those are a few of the things that I look forward to when I get up each day. Most people's reaction to accounting is "I don't know how you do that!" or "AGH, I can't even balance my checkbook on a monthly basis, how do you do that every day?" Well, when your mind thinks in numbers and not words, it's really easy. Take this bio for example... it involves words and I'd rather go to the dentist than write this bio.

The majority of my work experience has been with various accounting firms including time spent with what used to be Coopers & Lybrand and Arthur Young & Co, two of the original "Big 8" accounting firms . My areas of experience include auditing, cost accounting, trust accounting, small business write-up, payroll processing and taxation.

Having spent 8 years at HumanCentric, the last 4 years heading up the finance department, I can truly say that this is the one position out of all the others in my career that I truly love... Not too many people can say that.

Other things I love ...

• Jewelry
• Fast cars
