Margaret has been with Hawkins & Co. since 2015 and received her CPA designation in 2024.
Prior to joining the Hawkins & Co. team, Margaret owned a local small business and was the winner in 2013 and finalist in 2012 of a Business Excellence Award from the Windsor-Essex Regional Chamber of Commerce.
She credits a lot of that success to her mentorship relationships and remains active in the local entrepreneur community as a volunteer at the University of Windsor EPICentre (now closed) as part of their expert advisory services for startups, and as a volunteer at the Windsor-Essex Small Business & Entrepreneurship Centre as part of their professional advisory services program.
Before that, she made a living for many years as a professional pianist, having also received a Bachelor of Music in piano performance in 2004.
Margaret is a proud mother of two beautiful teenagers, and she tries to spend most of her spare time travelling and going to music and arts events.
