Meet Our Team | Rhye Leonard

Audit Associate

Join us in welcoming our newest team member at Casey Peterson, Ltd., Rhye Leonard. Rhye joined us in mid-August as an Audit Associate. She was a summer intern with us in 2017 and 2018 and is excited to dive into working with clients full-time on our Audit Team.

Rhye approaches her work with a collaborative problem-solving lens and is intrigued by the auditor-auditee relationship. She is looking forward to further exploring the audit process to bring as much benefit as possible to our clients.

She recently graduated from the University of South Dakota with both a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting and an MBA.

While enjoying her time in Vermillion, Rhye is now excited to be back in her hometown of Rapid City, South Dakota. When not working, she finds herself spending time with her cat, Lily, cooking new recipes with her partner, Scott, and exploring her burgeoning interest in interior design while decorating their new apartment.
