How do I help clients live a richer life?
For many clients, taxes are a complicated and oftentimes stressful topic. I love the opportunity to debunk this myth and help clients with not only compliance and reporting requirements, but also to ensure that they have a full understanding and are comfortable with the path chosen. One of the most rewarding experiences is to have a client express the peace of mind they have surrounding their tax situation after working together.

How do I spend my time outside of Brighton Jones?
I am an avid tennis player and play on several competitive tennis leagues in the greater Portland area. I love to be part of a team with my friends that allows for a competitive outlet, while also being an amazing source of fund and comradery. I am plugged into a local nonprofit where I get to work with an after-school program for underserved kids at a city tennis club. I also love spending a day exploring and hiking in the beautiful Pacific Northwest summers and ending with a delicious meal at a local restaurant.
