Vicky joined our team in August of 2022. She earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from MSU and has worked in accounting for 20+ years holding positions such as Business Office Manager and Director of Business Operations in the education industry. She is quiet and focused and adds a great level of professionalism to our team. Her “put your head down and just get it done” attitude has already accomplished so much! She handles the daily activity on some of our heaviest clients with such ease.  We also love her infectious moments of laughter that carry through the office when you have forgotten she is even there because she has been so quiet. She is happily married to her husband, Dale, and enjoys her church and spending all her spare time in the great outdoors……AND cheering on the St. Louis Cardinals!

Tiffany joined the ODA team in March of 2022 as an Accounting Assistant.  She was the co-owner of a construction company and has a broad background in the banking industry.  She also has an Associate in Office Systems Technology with Legal Administration Assistant Option from WKCTC.  She adds a special level of fun and energy (and snacks) to our office. Her bright, cheerful, can-do personality supports clients with excellent customer service and care. She works diligently to keep several clients keyed up, balanced, and ready for regular reviews and she is always ready to conquer a new project. She is an amazing mother too! Thank you, Tiffany! We are glad to have you on our team.
