Amber Black – Account Manager
My husband started a small painting and remodeling business in 1999, and I naturally took on the role of managing all the administrative responsibilities. Over time, that role expanded beyond invoicing and bill payments to include bookkeeping, financial recordkeeping, and preparing documentation for tax purposes.

Through years of handling these responsibilities—and helping market and grow his business—I gained valuable experience both in the field and in the office. This experience eventually led me to a position as an Office Administrator with a local company. My potential was quickly recognized, and I advanced from Office Administrator to Office Manager, and then into the accounting department. Ultimately, I became the Accounts Receivable Manager for what grew into a national company preparing to go public.

Unfortunately, when the company closed, all employees were laid off. That transition led me to my next professional chapter with Shockley Bookkeeping. I take great pride in my work, particularly in maintaining organization, accuracy, and attention to detail.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and grandchildren. I continue to assist with our now family-run business, where my husband and son work together serving clients throughout Tulsa and the surrounding areas. My husband and I are also very active in recovery ministries. In my spare time, I still enjoy photography, which was once my full-time profession.

Jennifer and her husband are thrilled to soon be welcoming two daughters-in-law to the family.

Malinda Bryan – Hello, I’m Malinda Bryan! I love spending time being quirky and silly with my three girls, being outside soaking up the sun, and singing. Our family also includes Missy, our beloved dog, who adds even more joy to our lives. Before joining Shockley, I dedicated 14 years to being a stay-at-home mom, which was an incredibly rewarding experience. I love the Shockley family and can’t wait to see what the future holds.
