I grew up near Rockyford, and now live near Standard with my husband Chris, where we operate a cattle and grain farm. We have 4 children, Lauren, Daniel, Morgan and Graham, and love keeping busy watching their sports and spending time with friends and family.Education
After graduating high school in Standard, I completed a Bachelor of Commerce degree at the University of Calgary in 2000. I then began work on my CGA designation, which I finished in 2006. I completed two years of the CPA Canada In-Depth Tax program in 2012 and 2013.

I began working at Gregory, Harriman & Associates in the fall of 2000. I was able to gain a variety of experience in preparing year-ends and audits for many different client businesses, and now focus mainly on tax and succession planning. After our fourth child was born, I took a few years away and was very excited to be back with the GHA team in 2021. I enjoy our wonderful team environment with many highly-skilled colleagues and it is such a pleasure getting to know our clients and their businesses and watching their growth and success.

My passions include reading, traveling, the outdoors and gardening. I love flowers and feel great satisfaction when what I plant grows into a beautiful bouquet. I moved from Calgary in order to enjoy a relaxed rural setting but also enjoy traveling to see and experience new sites.
Education
I achieved my goal of attaining my CGA designation (August 1, 2011) and have an Accounting and Information Technology degree through SAIT.

Before joining GH&A in January 2006, I had twenty years experience working for private corporations in the construction supply and lumber industries. GH&A has given me the opportunity to expand my work experience into the public practice sector and I have found the work very rewarding.

After growing up in the small community of Calahoo, I moved to Edmonton to go to college. My husband and I moved to Chestermere in 2016. Since we both grew up on acreages, we enjoy the slower paced life outside of the city. I am no stranger to southern Alberta as I would visit my mother's family farm by Champion every summer as a kid. I have a young daughter and small dog who keep me very busy but I love taking trips to the mountains when I have a chance to enjoy the great outdoors.
Education
I received my Bachelor of Business Administration Degree from NAIT and received my designation from the Certified General Accountants Association in 2013
Professional
I started working at a small accounting firm in Edmonton as an accounting technician while I was still attending NAIT. After 8 years, I had to relocate as my husband's office moved to Calgary. I went looking for another accounting firm to call home and landed at Gregory, Harriman & Associates. The atmosphere is exactly what I was looking for and the people are great to work with. I'm looking forward to building my career and client relationships here at GH&A.

I was raised on a family farm just outside of Strathmore. Currently I live in Strathmore with my husband, Matt and our son, Riley, where I enjoy spending time outdoors with my busy little boy in the back yard or at the family farm. Away from the office I enjoy travelling, and staying active with family and friends; in the summer on the golf course or at the lake, and in the winter on the ski hill or at the arena playing ringette.
Education
After graduating from Strathmore High School in 2007, I began my post-secondary education at Mount Royal University. I graduated from Mount Royal University with a Bachelor of Business Administration with a Major in Accounting in December 2011. After receiving my degree, I began working towards my Chartered Accountant designation through the CA School of Business (CASB) program. After completing CASB I wrote and passed the Uniform Final Exam (UFE) in the fall of 2014. I have recently completed the CPA Canada In-Depth Tax program in November 2021 and am always looking for new opportunities to expand my knowledge in tax and accounting.
Professional
I first began at Gregory, Harriman & Associates as a summer student in 2009 where I was introduced to the world of public practice. After graduating from University, I began articling and achieved my CA designation at a mid-size firm in Calgary, where I worked on a variety of jobs from private company audits to personal tax returns. I then returned to Gregory, Harriman & Associates in the fall of 2016. I enjoy the everyday learning that comes with my career as well as assisting clients with their varying business needs. I look forward to becoming a trusted advisor to my clients in this ever-changing business and accounting world.

Personal
I am a born and bred Calgarian who enjoys escaping the city’s congested roadways, driving out to Strathmore for a more controlled lifestyle. I have a great network of family and friends who keep me very happy and busy. Most of my passions outside of work relate to sports. A golf enthusiast, I have competed provincially, nationally and even tried going pro for a couple of years. In a need for more security than that life provided, I turned to my education. During the summer, I am still very active in golf, and in the winter, two hockey teams and cheering on the Flames occupies several late evenings.
Education
I completed my Business Degree from the University of Calgary in May 2002 and after a two year professional golf experience, I entered the Chartered Accounting Articling program in 2004. After three eye-opening (and sleep-deprived) years in the program, I achieved the CA designation in December 2007.
Professional
My years at GH&A have been very rewarding and I feel I have grown professionally and personally. The best part of this career is interacting with the great clients to help them meet their needs. Whether it be a large intercompany tax strategy or simple bookkeeping advice, the ability to help them achieve their goals is very important to me.
As a CA graduate, I am involved in the mentoring of aspiring CA’s in our firm. This rewarding experience is made very worthwhile, given the great success our articling students have been having in the CASB/CPA program and on the UFE.

I was born and raised in the small town of Flin Flon, Manitoba. Our family moved to Strathmore in 1997 and I have remained in Strathmore along with my wife and two sons. In my spare time you can find me either at the ball diamonds playing slo-pitch, on the golf course enjoying a nice round of golf, or at home watching sports and enjoying my sons grow up. I also played university badminton, which was exciting and fun as we got to travel to different places such as Hawaii for competition.
Education
I graduated from Strathmore High School in 2006. After graduation, I decided to enroll in Environmental Sciences at the University of Calgary but upon completion of my initial year, realized that science was not for me and that I was more suited for business. I attended Mount Royal University, graduating with a Bachelor of Business Administration with a major in Accounting in 2012. I enrolled in the CGA program in 2010 and officially became a member of CGA in October of 2015.
Professional
I began working for Gregory, Harriman & Associates in October of 2013, looking forward to the strong agricultural expertise of the firm. Since then I have had the opportunity to work in many different accounting and taxation areas and have really enjoyed the constant challenge. The staff camaraderie in the office makes it easy to enjoy my job and the flexibility in scheduling makes it an ideal job for a father of two children.

I have lived in Calgary all my life, where I now have a wife and daughter. I spend most of my free time finding new activities and adventures to enjoy with my family, however, I also enjoy playing recreational softball and golf during the summer, and hockey during the winter months.
Education
I attended the University of Lethbridge and graduated in 2009 with a bachelor’s degree in Management (Accounting). After graduating I immediately enrolled in the CA School of Business and obtained my Chartered Accountant designation in June 2012. I also completed the CPA Canada In-Depth Tax program in July 2017 and I am always looking for new opportunities to expand my knowledge in tax and accounting.
Professional
I spent the first six years of my career with GH&A, first as a CA articling student, and then, after obtaining my CA designation, as a manager. In 2015 I left GH&A to pursue other career opportunities, including a year and a half of international and cross border tax experience. Ultimately, my passion for tax and accounting for Canadian private companies brought me back to GH&A in January 2018.

My story starts in a small town in Saskatchewan. My parents, who owned a small hardware business, had the opportunity to purchase and manage a Home Hardware, so at the age of sixteen I moved to Strathmore. Although I return to the family cabin in Saskatchewan every summer, Strathmore has become my new home. When away from the office, I enjoy various sports, especially hockey and golf, as well as spending time with my family and friends. Whenever I can, I take in live sporting events, I have season tickets to the Flames and to the chagrin of many of my friends, try and make it to as many games for the Saskatchewan Roughriders as I can.
Education
After graduating from Strathmore High School in 2004, I began my post-secondary learning at the University of Alberta. After two years I made a change and returned to Calgary to finish my Bachelor of Economics at the University of Calgary. After receiving my degree, I began working towards my Chartered Accountant designation through the CA School of Business (CASB) program. After many evenings working late on homework and an entire summer dedicated to study I passed the Uniform Evaluation (UFE) and became a Chartered Accountant in December 2014.
Professional
I began working at GH&A in January 2012, initially as a student working towards my designation and now as a professional accountant. The atmosphere in the office is better than I could have hoped for as we really treat every goal as a team, be it for education, or in order to give our clients the best service possible.
As I have progressed in my career I have been given the opportunity to work in a variety of areas for our clients, from Municipal and Not-for-Profit audits to helping clients with their small business needs. I have found the most interesting part so far is meeting and helping clients with their business needs and look forward to continuing to assist clients and the new challenges in our ever-changing accounting and business landscape.

I was born and raised in Strathmore, Alberta. I have so many amazing childhood memories in Strathmore, so I knew I wanted to stay in town with my husband and two dogs. To me, a home isn't a home without a fluffy dog running around. In the summer you can find us camping, dirt biking or paddle boarding, and in the winter we’ll be on the mountains snowmobiling. We basically use any opportunity to enjoy the great Canadian outdoors.
Education
Straight out of high school I attended the University of Calgary. It didn't take me long to decide that engineering wasn't for me! I took a few years off to work, and during that time decided to enroll in the Bachelor of Business Administration degree program at SAIT. I graduated from the program in May 2016.

I joined Gregory, Harriman & Associates LLP in the fall of 2016 and was enrolled in the CPA designation program. I successfully passed the CFE and received my official CPA designation February 2021. I look forward to continuing to gain professional experience in my hometown
