How I got here

“While earning my bachelor’s degree in accounting from SUNY Geneseo, I landed an internship position at Rockbridge. From there, I developed a real passion for what Rockbridge brings to their clients’ lives. When approaching graduation, I spoke with multiple firms in the industry, but it was apparent to me that my values best aligned with the values in practice every day at Rockbridge. Several years later, I still consider myself lucky to work with such a fantastic team every day.”
