With a foundation in Selling and Sales Management from Purdue University, Deanna brings a unique perspective to the accounting world. Before fully joining Jayd Advisors at the start of 2020, she honed her organizational and planning skills as an event and wedding planner for a renowned event venue in Zionsville, Indiana. The transition from event planning to accounting might seem unusual at first glance, but the core skills of organization, detailed planning, and client communication are universal. These skills have been pivotal in managing client-facing tasks and ensuring smooth operations within the firm.

Life outside the office is just as vibrant and busy! My passion for the outdoors means you will often find me soaking up the sun from Spring through Fall. Whether it is hosting a lively tailgate for Purdue Football or cheering loudly at Macky Arena for Purdue Basketball, my enthusiasm does not wane.

At home, my zoo consists of four, four-legged family members - two dogs, Bree and Cayde (The Blue Heeler and Great Pyrenees mix was certainly a surprise after adoption), two cats, Arman & Arya, and our seasonal hummingbird, Hector our Nectar Collector. Their presence ensures there is never a dull moment.

My love for the outdoors, Purdue athletics, and the company of my pets reflects my belief in the importance of balance between professional dedication and personal passions. This balance drives my approach to building strong, positive relationships with our clients and within our team.
