Staff Accountant

Education/Certification

I am currently in the Accounting Honors program at Davenport University. I am scheduled to receive my Bachelors degree in April of 2023 and my Masters degree in the fall of 2024.

What is your area of specialty – how do you best help your clients?

I would say that I specialize in communication, and I am especially handy with Excel macros. I have a knack for making data dynamic and meaningful. I also studied marketing for a few years, and I always have ideas.

What are your top 5 strengths? What is your favorite strength?

My top five strengths are Ideation, Intellection, Input, Activator, and Competition. My favorite strength is activator because I enjoy challenging others to think about things in different ways and from different angles.

How do you like to give back to the community?

I try to always support small businesses. My fiancé and I go to many of the local events around Grand Rapids such as the Fulton Street Farmers Market, Rockford Farmers Market, and different craft shows around the state. I also plan on becoming involved with the Grand Rapids Pride Center.

What are your superpowers – something you’re good at that others should know about?

I am great at public speaking. I really enjoy getting up in front of a group and teaching about a particular topic. I remember I used to be anxious until I had a class in college that required me to present every class period. While it was challenging at the time, I look back on it and realize that I became rather good at presenting because of it.

Accomplishment you’re proud of?

I received my Aircraft Electronics Technician’s license (AET) when I was only 17 years old.

Tell us about your life outside of work (family/pets/sports/activities/interests/hobbies)

Outside of work, I am a big fan of the outdoors. I love hiking and camping during the three seasons in Michigan where the air isn’t trying to kill you. I am also a big fan of anything fantasy. I play Dungeons and Dragons once a week at a local game shop and I love watching movies, reading books, and playing video games. I have been with my gorgeous fiancé Hailey for four years, and I have three siblings (two younger and one older).

What is your favorite part of working at the firm?

My favorite thing about Hungerford is the sense of community. I started as an Intern in August, and immediately my coworkers made me feel incredibly comfortable and I felt like I could ask questions and be myself.
