Kemberley beyond Bankrate
After six months of training on how to shoot guns, arrest people and conduct speed chases as an IRS criminal investigator, I knew that carrying a gun wasn't for me! However, my IRS experience gave me the opportunity to help others with tax and finance issues. Today, I continue to share tax tips through my writing, news appearances, and volunteering in the community.
