In 2002, Ms. Tharp decided to pursue an interest in taxes by enrolling in Pacific Northwest Tax School’s 80-Hour Basic Tax Course.  She graduated as a top student and after successfully passing the Oregon Tax Board’s LTP exam came to work for the company.  After working two seasons as a LTP, she passed the Board LTC exam and is now licensed as a Tax Consultant.
