My main responsibilities are to oversee the company operations as well as human resources, finance, and communications. In addition, I support clients in personal and business tax preparation. My ultimate business goal is to provide clients the best quality services through integrity, commitment, and continuous learning.
Before joining the RP Jones, CPA P.C., I had been working as business consultant and external/internal auditor for 15 years at various Fortune 500 companies (Calpine, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Halliburton, and AIG). The consulting and auditing experience has provided me significant knowledge in business process improvements and internal controls to support our business line in audit and consulting services.
I obtained the B.S degree in Accounting and Information System from San Jose State University in California; and have been certified as CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor) since 2007. Beyond work, I love doing outdoor activities with my husband and two beautiful children (11 and 6 years old). I also have a strong passion for yoga, travelling and cooking.
