Marissa joined MinistryCPA in 2017 after graduating from Maranatha Baptist University. As a student of Dr. Pfaffe’s at MBU, Marissa learned the value of bringing Christian values into the workplace. In her role as a Senior Accountant at MinistryCPA, she appreciates the opportunity to apply those values while serving individuals, businesses, and organizations worldwide and helping them improve their financial stewardship.

Marissa obtained her BBA in accounting from MBU in 2017 and became licensed as a CPA in 2021.  She has developed extensive experience in the areas of taxation of U.S. citizens living abroad, payments to foreign nationals, and contributions to foreign organizations. Marissa also heads up MinistryCPA’s compliance engagements for organizations requiring compiled or reviewed financial statements.

Outside of the office, Marissa loves traveling to new places, taking pictures of people and places (especially while traveling), and cooking for friends and family. She enjoys finding ways to use her gifts to serve her local church, Mercy Hill, in Nashotah, WI.

Marissa’s favorite verses are 1 John 4:7-12.
