DOVER - Leone, McDonnell & Roberts, PA is pleased to announce the hiring of recent University of New Hampshire graduate Christine Chrysafidis.

Hailing from Brookfield, Ms. Chrysafidis earned her Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Accounting from the Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics at UNH. While at school, she was an active member of Women in Business, a student run organization aimed at networking and educating young women on important business skills such as resume building, navigating LinkedIn and more. As a member of the organization, Ms. Chrysafidis took part in community service activities, learned from many business women in the community, mentored fellow members and organized and attended an annual Women In Business Conference.

This is not Ms. Chrysafidis' first time working at Leone, McDonnell & Robert, PA. During the summer of 2017, she gained valuable experience and insight into public accounting as one of our summer interns.

"Christine's enthusiasm and interest in becoming a CPA was apparent from her first internship with us in 2017, making our decision to hire her effortless," said Partner Paula DePlanche, CPA. "Because of her internship experiences, she was able to begin her new full-time career assisting clients she worked with last summer, creating consistency and ease both for herself as well as our clients. We are excited to have her with us."

Ms. Chrysafidis has already jumped back into her work assisting clients in the areas of auditing and tax.

"I am thrilled to be back on board with the LMR team," she said. "I really enjoyed my summer internship with the firm as I gained an abundance of knowledge and great experience. Most importantly, I really enjoy who I work with and for."

Ms. Chrysafidis currently resides in Portsmouth and enjoys running, boating, being at the beach and spending time with her family.
