Aurora Barich

Accounting and Office Manager

Aurora grew up in Cheyenne, Wyoming and moved to the Denver area to complete her undergraduate degree. She received her B.A. in Science from Regis University in Professional Accounting and has her CPA certification.

She is an accounting professional with over 20 years of experience from corporate level accounting functions to small business accounting services. After graduating college, she remained in the Denver area and worked for a local CPA firm and a Corporate homebuilder for several years before deciding to dedicate her time to her four children and family on a full-time basis while still maintaining her professional career part-time. Joining the Epstein Patierno team has given Aurora a great opportunity to get back into the industry with passion and determination.

Zoe Stockwell

Receptionist

Originally from sunny Palm Desert, California, Zoe moved for the crisp Colorado Mountain air of the Rockies in early 2023. She can now check off Denver as the fifth city she’s lived in along with San Francisco, Nashville and a seaside town in the UK, Hull. In 2021, Zoe earned her B.A. in Broadcasting and Electronic Communication Arts at San Francisco State University where she gained a passion for listening and sharing people’s stories. She even received an award for best nonfiction narrative script in her program.

Some may call her a “jack of all trades.” Post grad gifted Zoe with a plethora of opportunities, including retail management, true crime podcast writer, local magazine staff writer and now receptionist at Epstein Patierno. Joining the team gives her the opportunity to assist clients, learn the lingo of the law and create a warm and inviting office environment daily.

When she’s not at her desk committed to her duties, Zoe enjoys writing poetry, reading, checking out thrift stores around the Mile High, bouldering and lounging with her two kitties.
