My Role

I joined Applegate & Thorne-Thomsen in August 2025. As CFO, I am responsible for all accounting and financial functions, including budgeting, financial and managerial reporting, internal control, employee benefit plan management, financial analysis, and treasury management. Additionally, I am involved in the Firm’s strategic plan and identify areas in need of financial innovation and transformation.  My focus is on making data-driven decisions and translating those decisions into actions that improve firm culture and performance. I also supervise the Finance Team and work closely with key leadership and management personnel.

My Background

Prior to joining the firm, I was an Audit Senior Manager at Ernst & Young LLP prior to working in legal.  I also held CFO positions at Francek P.C. and Levenfeld Pearlstein, LLC.  There I gained 25 years of progressive experience directing key financial functions and high-performing financial teams.

My Passion in Life

When not at work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading, gardening and cooking.  I also love to travel anywhere warm and our go-to place with family and friends is Saint Martin.
