Cassandra L. Senter

Project Manager

Hello! My name is Cassie Senter, Matt’s wife. You have probably heard Matt mention me from time to time throughout the blog, and although I am just now officially joining the Senter, CPA team, I’ve been actively involved behind the scenes throughout the past few years.  I will be doing a little bit of everything to help keep Matt and the team moving along, but my primary focus will be all IT efforts (as it has always been) and marketing. 

A little about me: I grew up in Waterford, MI and graduated from Waterford Mott High School. From there I earned my Associate degree in Liberal Arts from OCC.  I have a large family and a twin sister named Chrissie. I lived in Tennessee for several years, which is where Chrissie introduced me to Matt. After dating for a few years, Matt and I got engaged and then moved back to Michigan where we decided to raise our children.

I have worked in IT for 15+ years and have done a little bit of everything. My primary focus has been on the service side, working for MSPs who cater to small to medium size businesses. I have worked the front lines doing help desk type support, desktop support, systems administration, project management, and management. Although I have enjoyed the ride, and have learned a ton throughout those years, I have decided to step away from full-time work to spend more time with our family.

I am really looking forward to this next chapter, not only with my family, but also with the Senter, CPA team!
