With over 20 years of experience in accounting and bookkeeping, I am a results-driven professional with a strong background in both for-profit and non-profit financial operations. My expertise includes managing accounts receivable and payable, payroll, bank and credit card reconciliations, and financial reporting—all in strict compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
I’m proficient in QuickBooks Online and Desktop, as well as other tools like Deltek Vision, ADP Run, and Shopify. I handle a wide range of bookkeeping responsibilities, including vendor management, issuing 1099s, preparing sales tax filings, and producing accurate financial statements. I'm also highly skilled in Microsoft Excel and the broader Microsoft Office Suite, which I use to streamline financial workflows and support sound business decisions.
As the owner of Briarwood Gifts + Decor and a freelance bookkeeper through DCEC Consulting, I’ve developed the ability to juggle multiple projects with precision and consistency. I not only manage the financial side of operations, but also oversee vendor coordination, inventory management, and digital marketing. These roles have strengthened my attention to detail and creative problem-solving skills.
I’m passionate about improving systems and creating more efficient processes. I’ve consistently identified workflow issues and implemented practical solutions to enhance productivity and accuracy. Whether working independently or with a team, I pride myself on clear communication, integrity, and a strong work ethic.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Missouri–Columbia. In addition to my professional work, I’m committed to giving back—serving as Treasurer for Armani’s Angels, a non-profit supporting pet owners in need, and volunteering with Divine Savior Church and Academy.
