Born and raised in Olympia, Washington, Shawn’s first job out of high school was in banking as a teller.  While working full-time as a teller, she started her college education to fulfill her lifelong dream of being an accountant (yes, some people do have that dream!).  She continued to work and attend college even while living in Italy for three years.  She was distracted for a few years while starting a family and in 1998 she graduated from Central Washington University. 

She started her career at Weinand & Associates, CPAs (Lakewood, WA) just in time for the 1998 tax season and became a shareholder of the company in January 2005.  Shawn’s main focus is in taxation and accounting and on building lasting relationships with business owners and individuals.  Occasionally, Shawn is a guest speaker for organizations such as the Accounting and Financial Women’s Alliance and the Washington Association of Accounting and Tax Professionals.    In addition, she is active in the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce and currently serves as Past-President of the Washington Association of Accounting and Tax Professionals.
