I believe through my professional experiences, I have accomplished many different goals under very unusual circumstances, giving me the knowledge to see every situation with questioning eyes and find solutions for every problem, even if they do not follow the norm.
My favorite part of every job is problem solving, reviewing Budgets and Financial Statements, as well as training staff to new processes and procedures. I am always looking for improvements and minimization of duplicate work with new technology, and like to learn new ways to improve my work at all times.
I am very proficient with technology and am normally the one people go to with questions of any kind.
I am confident that I can offer you the customer service, communication and problem-solving skills you are seeking.
