The Journey
A young professional with a spirit of adventure and curiosity, Susan has a passion for travel and new experiences. Her favorite destinations are in Europe, particularly France, where she enjoys taking in the local atmosphere of the cities, towns and villages.
With a curiosity about how the world works, and knowing that business makes things happen and affects every part of society, Susan decided to learn the language of business. She pursued degrees in accounting and finance at California State University, Northridge, and began her professional career at SPS shortly after graduating. Susan attributes developing a solid base of knowledge to learning from a strong group of diverse professionals at SPS, and believes that the people at SPS is what sets it apart from other public accounting firms. Now, as a manager, she shares her knowledge with others.
Motivated and goal-driven, Susan lives and learns through her experiences. SPS provides an environment for her to grow as a professional with an inquisitive mind, while allowing her to explore and venture out on those European travels.
