Tiffany Woody
Hello everyone, I am Tiffany Woody and I have been with Cahill & Dunn since 2013. My passion for accounting started back in high school after taking my first business and accounting class. After receiving my Associate of Science degree in 2015, I decided to continue on and pursue my Bachelor’s degree. My strongest skills are my attention to detail, organization, critical thinking, and time management. They all assisted me in the pursuit, and in 2017 I received my Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Accounting. Outside of work, I spend most of my time just being with friends and family. I enjoy DIY projects, crocheting, and listening to music.

Cathy Lane
My name is Catherine Lane, but my friends call me Cathy. As a “Navy Brat” I moved from coast to coast until finally finishing out my childhood on the panhandle of Florida. I moved to Tennessee in 1991 with my husband, where we have raised our 4 children. I am now a proud grandmother of 3 boys. I worked at a manufacturing facility for 14 years; working my way up to the position of Lean Manufacturing Coordinator. But the recession of 2009 changed my life. At the age of 41 I went back to college, obtained an Associates Degree in Business Management and graduated Summa Cum Laude. I have been with Cahill & Dunn since 2014. I have worked my way around the office and have worn many different hats in the process. I have found that my knowledge and experience has been an asset to the company and I look forward to many years with this wonderful company.
