From Barry’s Bay to HW Partners
I knew by the time I was in Grade 10 that I wanted to become an accountant, but I had no idea how much I’d grow to love this career. Growing up in Barry’s Bay, a small town in the Ottawa Valley, I was raised with strong values: work hard, help others, and be part of your community. Today, I get to live those values every day in my work.
A Bit About My Journey
I graduated from Brock University in 2011 with a Bachelor of Accounting (Honours) and joined Hendry Warren full-time in 2012. I earned my CPA, CA designation in 2015, and have been growing in the profession—and with our clients—ever since.
What Matters to Me
My work focuses on assurance engagements and helping our audit clients enhance their operational, reporting, and planning processes. I enjoy understanding how businesses function from the inside out and giving advice that’s both practical and strategic. Mentoring is another significant aspect that drives me. I’ve had the opportunity to support our future audit seniors as they develop their technical skills and confidence. Their success is a highlight of my own.
Life Outside the Office
Outside of work, I volunteer as Treasurer for Dress for Success Ottawa, an organization I’m proud to support. I also enjoy spending time with family and friends, and staying connected to my Ottawa Valley roots whenever possible.
