Personal attributes: Strong attention to details, advanced analytical and problem solving
skills, strong organizational skills, strong ability to work both independently and in team
environment.
Accomplishments: During the beginning of my tenure at Xerox, I noticed that the invoicing
process did not cover all the key responsibilities for the team – especially in the area of data
validation. This void made it virtually impossible to recognize revenue accurately. To me, it
just did not feel right to use data without validating them, knowing that I have SOXA/audit
responsibility to fulfill. To remedy, I created and tried a “data validation” process on all
contracts that were assigned to me. Luckily, the process was embraced by all my account
executives during the trial period; and the positive effect was immediate throughout the
various parts of the finance/accounting organization. Quickly, management had decided that
my process be used in conjunction with the existing billing process. This accomplishment had
earned me a promotion - Team Lead.
Skills: TABS Enterprise (used in conjunction with JD Edwards), Excel, Word, Outlook,
Access, Power Point.
Languages: Fluent in French
Interests: Christian Philosophy, Tennis
2. PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
(June 2014 – present)
After being laid off by Xerox, I decided to spend time focusing on the academic
development of my non-verbal/autistic son. Prior and during that period, his
teachers and school district seemed apathetic about his academic needs. By
applying key principles learned during my tenure at EDS/HP/Xerox, I was able to
diligently and successfully lobbying for the school district to release more funds
into the school’s “Autism” program and, at the same time, enticing the teaching
staff to take the program more seriously. As a result, my son has greatly improved
academically; and has been nominated “Student of the Month” several times.
I am 100% satisfied and confident to go back to work.
