After more than 20 years as a marketing professional—primarily in the tech sector—I was ready for a new challenge. With a love for spreadsheets and problem-solving, accounting felt like the perfect next step. Now based in Kelowna, BC, I’m in the final semester of my Advanced Diploma in Professional Accounting, working toward my goal of becoming a Chartered Professional Accountant.

Throughout my marketing career, I was always drawn to the numbers behind the strategy. I loved clean data sets, ROI reports, and business plans backed by solid analysis. It wasn’t just about the creative process—it was about real results and helping businesses grow. That same passion drives my work at kCole Bookkeeping, where I get to support hardworking entrepreneurs in building something great. Seeing the dedication and resourcefulness of our clients makes every day rewarding, and I’m thrilled to play a small part in their success.

Outside of work, you’ll likely find me on the water, dragon boating in the summer, or in the kitchen, cooking up a feast for family and friends. Travel has been a huge part of my life—I’ve been to all seven continents and around 40 countries. My career and adventures have taken me across the world, having lived and worked in Australia, the UK, the U.S., and Canada. Wherever I go, I bring that same curiosity and enthusiasm to everything I do—including helping businesses thrive through better bookkeeping.
