1. Objective
Having recently relocated and taken a job in sales, I realized that working with numbers and helping people work
through financial decisions is my passion and strength. By capitalizing on my experience in all phases of
bookkeeping, lending and sales, I can be an excellent addition to your office if you are looking for a multitasker
with a strong work ethic and the experience to hit the job running.
