About Me

I am a retired accountant with decades of experience and a passion for financial accounting. My career began with nine years in public accounting, followed by a long tenure as an accountant in the Division of Corporation Finance at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). At the SEC, I reviewed financial statements and other financial disclosures included in disclosure documents such as Form 10-K, 10-Q and Registration and Proxy Statements playing an integral role to ensure compliance with SEC and Accounting (GAAP) rules and to improve disclosures for investors. I hold a bachelor's degree in accounting and maintain an active CPA license. Now in retirement, I've chosen to tutor to give back to the next generation of accountants. I aim to make a positive impact by sharing not just technical knowledge, but also the practical, real-world insights I gained throughout my career. My teaching philosophy is centered around listening, encouragement, and accountability. I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and building confidence. I focus on simplifying complex concepts and using real-world examples to help students connect theory to practice. My ultimate goal is to empower each student to take ownership of their learning and achieve lasting results.
