In 2013, after finishing my degree in Accounting, I traded California’s redwood forests for Colorado’s rocky mountains and moved to the Roaring Fork Valley. Since moving to the valley, I have worked as an accountant in multiple industries including residential construction, not-for-profit (charitable and religious organizations), municipal government, public accounting, and real estate. I currently work as the controller for a general contractor in Aspen and as the staff accountant for a real estate brokerage firm in Basalt.
