Director, Client Accounting & Advisory

Going beyond business.

What's better than having a husband who cooks? Having a husband who's a competitive pizza maker! Which, in Denise's case, means more time for dancing in the kitchen. After 30 years of marriage and three grown children, Denise is happiest when her home is full of love and laughter. When not dancing in the kitchen, she enjoys the outdoors, especially when it snows.

When it comes to staying energized at work, Denise focuses on building relationships beyond business — it's all about finding moments when she can get others engaged and having fun while getting the job done.

  • Professional Bio
