Accounting Director
I graduated from university with a Bachelors of Science in Accounting and have worked in small business, public accounting, and non-profit environments for the last eight years. I am grateful for the role my skills allow me to play in service to noble organizations working to better our world. In 2012, I obtained my CPA designation.
Subsequent to my graduation from the University of Florida, I worked for two years at Deloitte before feeling compelled to apply my skills directly to organizations whose missions I feel deeply passionate about. I spent three years managing the fund accounting and grants administration system for Larkin Street Youth Services, during which time I also spent a year living in a remote off-the-grid traditional Chinese martial arts training center in the mountains of Northern California studying meditation, Taijiquan, and Kung Fu. Before focusing my practice exclusively on non-profit organizations, I served as CFO of Cutting Edge Capital and K2 Legal, a related law and consulting firm devoted to helping socially responsible businesses, co-ops, and non-profits access funding that is harmonious with their missions.
In 2011, I founded Biketopia Community Workshop, a South Berkeley community bicycle education and youth services non-profit. I’m an avid juggler, dog lover, bicyclist/bike mechanic, amateur cook, amateur gymnast, ashtanga yogi, and kettlebell enthusiast. I also practice and teach acroyoga.
