Hello! I am an adjunct professor here at GGU, but my day job is Revenue Accounting
Manager for Virgin America. My team and I ensure proper revenue recognition and SOX
compliance for our publicly traded airline. Prior to my role at Virgin I worked in
investor relations at Southwest Airlines, financial reporting at Zip Realty, and
was a senior associate at KPMG. I have over 9 years of experience in the accounting
field, in many different areas, with a diverse group of companies. While I enjoy every
day accounting operations, I have found the most challenging and rewarding parts
of my career have been the analysis and communication aspects. I have a passion for
travel and the airline industry, and am mildly obsessed with excel. I am a Texan
born and raised, but I am really enjoying this California weather.
I received my Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Accountancy from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX, and am also a Certified Public Accountant. In my spare time you will find me chasing around my 1 and a half year old son, on the ski slopes with my husband, or reading a good book on the couch (recommendations appreciated!)
