Growing up on a farm in East Texas provided me with a deep appreciation for God´s creation and instilled many “country girl” values in me. I live in McKinney with my husband of 33 years. We have 3 adult sons, 2 daughters-in-law and a grandson. Our family continues to grow with 2 more grandchildren due to be born this year.

I have many interests and hobbies including spending time with family and friends, reading, photography, and needle crafts. My husband and I are active members at Crosspoint Church, McKinney.

After obtaining my Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics and English from East Texas State University, I chose to be a “stay at home mom” for several years. Reentering the workforce with Murray & Mensch, P.C. in the fall of 1997 has proven to be a most rewarding career decision. I enjoy helping clients minimize the efforts to comply with confusing tax law and accounting technicalities. Problem solving is another of my strengths that I delight in using while organizing my clients´ financial transactions.

January 1, 2010 I became a minority owner of the firm.   I obtained a Master of Science degree in accounting in August 2011 and became a licensed Certified Public Accountant on August 30, 2012.
