Name: Kathryn Clark
Title: Tax Manager
Organization: Edelstein and Company
- The best advice you ever got: My father raised us with the notion of having both roots and wings. Raised so that you have a strong sense of self and belonging, more than just having a place to call home (roots), and at the same time giving me unconditional love and confidence so that I could spread my wings and leave the nest.
- Your three goals for 2019: Familiarize myself with the Qualified Small Business Deduction and to optimize the deduction for my clients, lead entity tax training for new associates, and as always drink more water.
- If you weren’t doing this… I would be a dog walker, getting to spend an entire day surronded by dogs sounds amazing.
- Your favorite blogs/social media accounts you follow: I love to follow food bloggers and french bulldog accounts on social media. My favorite food blogger is Naptime Kitchen, and my favorite french bulldog account is Walter Geoffrey.
- What you do when you’re not at work: Go to my gym, Everybody Fights and hang out with my french bulldog, Gus.
- Hometown? Winston-Salem, NC
- Where did you go to college? University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill
- What’s your favorite color? Pink
- What was the last book you read? Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan
- What was the last TV show you watched? Brockmire
- What was the last movie you saw? Mary Queen of Scots while at home over Christmas.
- Do you have any pets? I have a 3 year old french bulldog, Gus.
- Where is your favorite place to vacation? My favorite vacation I ever took was to South Africa. I visited Cape Town which is one of my favorite cities, and also went on a safari. Seeing the lions, giraffes, and elephants in person is absolutely magical.
- What’s your favorite quote? "Be the change that you want to see in the world." Gandhi
- What’s your favorite restaurant? La Carretta, restaurant in my hometown
- What is your favorite benefit the MSCPA offers? I really enjoy the various Young Professional Events that the society offers. It allows me to develop my networking skills and expand my professional network. I especially enjoy the Boston Red Sox game event.
