 My Job @Sayva: As a Recruiting Manager, I specialize in assisting accounting and finance professionals of all levels as they pursue the next step in their careers.

Before Sayva I was…: I joined Sayva after six years in public accounting, where I  worked in the business assurance practice of two internationally recognized accounting firms. Most recently I was an accounting manager with Grant Thornton LLP where I supervised and coordinated the audits of a diverse range of clients in both size (start-up to public) and industry (biotech to real estate). This experience gives me insight into the accounting and finance profession as a whole, as my career has been built upon interacting with both public and private accounting professionals of all levels.

 My Proudest Sayva Moment: My first interaction with Sayva was actually as a candidate for an accounting manager role that had come available. The Sayva professionals provided exceptional service and guidance throughout the process, from introductory calls to negotiating the final offer. The key Sayva differentiator became apparent when I ended up pursuing a different role, at which point they were genuinely supportive of my decision although it was contrary to their own best interest. This commitment to constructive and long-lasting business relationships is one of the many reasons I am so enthusiastic about joining the company.

 3 Things to Know About Me:

Born and raised in Seattle, I am taking every opportunity to enjoy the California weather after my move to San Diego in January 2022. Surfing and attempting to improve my golf swing have been two of the many highlights.

I have traveled to five continents, with the goal of seeing all seven in my lifetime (if anyone has insight on getting to Antarctica please reach out)
