Summary Statement
Experience, education, and creativity have prepared me to function as a key contributor with any business opportunity.
This includes managing activities for accurate financial reporting through various accounting systems, sustaining
company policy and procedures, ensuring adequate internal controls, and overseeing theperformance of overall
accounting operations and financial audits.
I have gained experience with building accounting procedures and workflows from the “ground up” with two business
startup assignments. Those assignments include a manufacturing plant construction and a REIT structuresetup with a
Timberlands TIMO.
My systems knowledge and customer focus have led me to successfully assist operations and accounting management
with many projects designed to improve overall business performance. Some of these activities include statistical data
analysis, softwareenhancements, work flow development, and process improvements.
Recent project leadership opportunities havecreated a need for me to gain more technical knowledge with software
design. This new focus has directed me to pursueanother degree in Cyber Technology. I am fast-tracking my way
through the program while also continuing full-time employment. I have already obtained two CompTIA
certifications, and expect to graduate in December 2015.
