I am truly grateful for the opportunity to have studied at Anderson University Falls School of Business between 2003 – 2008. This is one of the highlights of my life’s experience. The memories of good times studying together in a supportive community still warm my soul.
Right now I'm a Partner at a small CPA firm on the westside of Indy, Rhodes Knisley CPAs. I focus on preparing individual tax returns. I pray that I am being "salt and light" to my employees and co-workers and clients through my attitude, work ethic, & generosity.
My time at the Falls School of Business was great. The business school offers a unique atmosphere that allows students to thrive if they’re willing to work. My professors served as teachers, mentors and friends. Cindy Gibson was very instrumental in my growth and development while at Anderson. As an advisor, she put me in a position to succeed. As a professor, she prepared me for my career. As a mentor, she played a critical role in connecting me with internship opportunities.
As a new graduate in 2003, I began a career in Chicago with a Fortune 500 telecommunications company working with a diverse group of finance professionals from many different backgrounds. I realized the value of the education that I’d received when I saw how my skills stacked up against those of my colleagues.
I wear a few hats right now - I am co-owner of The Meeting Place on Market, a coffee house/ cafe in downtown Lima, Ohio, Chief Information Officer of myStaffingPro, a software company, and wife & mom of three wonderful & unique kids. Anyone who is a heartfelt follower of God is salt & light wherever they are, but I think the unique place God has called me to is encouraging economic development in the city of Lima, a "rust belt" city that has lost quite a bit of manufacturing business.
