Where Accounting Meets What Comes Next
I’ve been drawn to numbers for as long as I can remember – first through math and engineering, then increasingly toward business, where accounting turned out to be the natural fit. That same curiosity is what pulls me toward technology and process innovation. I think we’re living through a genuinely rare moment in the profession, with AI reshaping how the work gets done, and I find it hard not to get excited about that. My role at HW lets me sit right at that intersection – the technical craft of accounting and the question of where it’s all heading.
A Bit About My Journey
I joined HW Partners in 2021, starting as a co-op student before coming on full time and earning my CPA designation. From there I progressed into my current role as Manager, Accounting & Innovation – a position purpose-built to formalize the work I’d been doing around technology and process. Today my time is split between client engagements across assurance and tax and leading how the firm adopts AI and new tools. I received my second degree from the University of Ottawa in 2023 and have been with HW ever since.
What Matters to Me
What drives me is keeping the firm ahead of emerging technology and helping our people build real, practical fluency with it – not chasing tools for their own sake, but changing how the work actually gets done. I care about lifting people up: giving the team the structure and support to adapt with confidence rather than anxiety. And I’m genuinely fascinated by what the future of accounting might look like, and the chance to help shape HW’s place in it.
Life Outside the Office
Outside of work I’m rarely sitting still – I’m an avid cyclist and runner, and my dream trip is a family bikepacking tour of the world. Home is busy and full: my partner Robin, our young daughter, and our white German Shepherd. I’m curious by nature and tend to dive headfirst into whatever has my attention, whether that’s mapping out my next bike trip or getting out with the family and the dog. There is never a dull moment, and that’s by design.
