Before Embark, I started my career in public accounting at Deloitte & Touche, where I spent over 13 years in the energy audit practice. I gained deep oil & gas experience in a variety of technical areas including business combinations & divestitures, SEC filings, revenue recognition, asset impairments, leases, income taxes, debt and equity transactions, and stock-based compensation to name a few. I then took my expertise into industry as an assistant controller for a public royalties company, where I led the implementation of a first year SOX compliance program while overseeing internal and external financial reporting as well as monthly close and operations.

At Embark, I bring that mix of public accounting rigor and real-world industry experience to the clients and teams I work with every day. I love that Embark gives me the opportunity to solve meaningful problems for finance and accounting leaders — the kind of challenges that actually keep CFOs up at night. The people here are the best part. We work hard, we care about doing things right, and we genuinely enjoy the ride.

Outside of work, I like to spend every possible moment with my two daughters — they keep life fun, full, and very busy. When I can steal a few hours for myself, you'll find me in the saddle. Horseback riding has been a passion of mine since I was a child, and there's nothing quite like it for clearing your head and recharging.
