Jennifer A. Reynolds-Moehrle came to UMSL from the University of Southern California in 1999. She is originally from western Kentucky and her husband (also an Accounting Professor here at UMSL) is from St. Louis, so she says the decision to move from LA to St. Louis was an easy one. She has an undergraduate degree from University of Kentucky along with a PhD from Indiana University, and she has spent several years working in Public Accounting and in private industry before she started the PhD program. As an associate professor, her time is split between teaching, research, and service. Her teaching is evenly divided between upper level undergraduate accounting courses and graduate courses. Most of her research is in the areas of financial reporting and accounting history. She is involved in a variety of COBA, campus, and university administrative activities such as planning for the new COBA building, providing input into campus building and physical facilities issues, and helping to mentor faculty who are new to UMSL.
