Hi Everyone!

I have been teaching accounting for nearly 20 years, much of that at SAC! I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Accounting from CSULA and a Masters in Higher Education Policy and Administration from UCR. I am also a California CPA*.

I started my business career as a financial auditor at Ernst & Young, in the Los Angeles office and spent some time in the tax department as well. After 8 years, I moved on to run my own consulting firm before taking on the full-time faculty position at SAC. I am a published textbook author, including one on Federal Income Taxes. 

I am passionate about my students and teaching! I have two grown children, both are in graduate school! One lives in Boston and the other in Seattle – so I travel a lot!

I am married and my “children” still at home are my two cattle dog mixes named Blue and Juno! They are brother and sister and five years old!

I love yoga, hiking, biking, traveling and trying new restaurants! I spend most weekends with my husband of 28 years doing one of those activities! 😊

If you are on campus, please come by and say “Hi”!

Course Description: This financial accounting course is for the business administration transfer student. The course includes the study of the accounting cycle, asset and liability accounting, corporations, financial statements, and principles. 

Textbook Information: 

This course requires a textbook (hardcopy or online), and a McGraw-Hill Connect registration code (for all of the graded work). The textbook is bundled with CONNECT PLUS code: Financial Accounting Custom W/ Connect Plus, Spiceland, 4th Edition (approximately $99). Note: this is a special edition packaged for Santa Ana College, and therefore you will not find this ISBN at sources other than the Bookstore. SAC ISBN code = 9781260093384 

You are NOT required to have both online and hardcopy. However, since we have worked out a great deal with McGraw Hill on pricing, it is probably going to be just as cost effective (if not more so) to purchase the bundled packaged. You can contact the bookstore online. SAC bookstore.

1. Students will be able to record transactions, make adjustments, and close the accounting cycle. 

2. Students will be able to prepare GAAP based financial statements.
