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 (white/brown) and Juno (brown/red) ! They are brother and sister and five years old! (photo below)

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”!
