Message

At Nth Degree, I led corporate accounting activities across multiple entities and delivered the earliest year-end close in company history by improving accounting processes and reporting efficiency. I also prepared an acquired entity’s opening balance sheet in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

At Pearlman Group, I served as the accounting lead for seven acquisitions, supporting each from due diligence through post-close integration. I helped create the acquisition playbook and developed integration roadmaps for newly acquired companies.

At Cousins Properties, I managed accounting and financial reporting for a commercial property portfolio. Earlier, at Chart Industries, I supported SEC filings, consolidations, and foreign currency accounting.

I’m a CPA with a Master of Accountancy from Shorter University. My experience also includes manufacturing accounting at Foss Manufacturing and supporting financial system upgrades and BlackLine implementation at Chart Industries.
