She has been in the customer service industry for over 20 years. For the last 10 years, she has worked from my home office. So learning to balance work life and family life as a mother (of five children) has definitely been interesting. She joined the team with Bookkeepers.com back in the Spring of 2017. And in March 2019 was given the opportunity to head their affiliate department. The past year she has enjoyed learning more about the affiliate management industry and has had the opportunity to attend FinCon and Affiliate Summit West. The future is wide open and she is enjoying the journey.
