Recently, I successfully assisted a client in securing a multi-million-dollar refund that was pivotal in settling a class action lawsuit. Additionally, I helped clients save millions during the audit and appeal processes.I am passionate about delivering tailored solutions across various industries, including retail, manufacturing, transportation, and technology. My expertise spans audit defense, nexus and sourcing analysis, multi-state disclosures, ASC 450, and the impact of emerging trends in state and federal laws.I am the KPMG State Tax Resource Network (STRN) indirect tax specialist for Missouri. As a member of the Network, I am part of a team of top state tax professionals who have extensive technical and procedural knowledge and strong relationships with tax authorities in all 50 states. With our extensive STRN experience and relationships, KPMG can offer high-quality multistate assistance on complex tax issues and procedural matters. Beyond client work, I contribute to our firm\'s growth by participating in campus recruiting for our Chicago office. I also value community involvement, having co-captained our annual Community Giving Campaign and led our team in local 5K runs that support the Chicago AIDS Foundation.When I\'m not in the office, you can find me exploring my neighborhood with my pug and baking.Looking ahead, I am eager to continue driving impactful results for my clients and expanding my expertise in the ever-evolving tax landscape.
