Leadership | Professional Experience
Over the past 20 years, I’ve built my career in auditing, accounting, and technology. I started at Ernst & Young (EY) and went on to work for some of Kansas City’s largest corporations. My focus has always been the same: find what’s broken, fix it, and make things better than I found them. By redesigning processes and holding finances accountable, I’ve helped companies save millions — because when you run an organization efficiently, everyone benefits. That same principle is exactly what I want to bring to Topeka.
