Shanda loves a challenge. Bookkeeping can be a lot like being a detective, especially when the answer is not obvious. She loves researching to get to the root of the problem and finding a solution. She has done it all, from scheduling and invoicing for small businesses to working in a high-volume medical office.

When not working, Shanda sews and makes candles in her art studio. She loves the outdoors and spends hours hiking with her longtime partner, Josh; two kids, Max and Braelin; and dogs, Indy and Echo. She has traveled extensively and visited 47 of the 50 states.
