I am an Accounting and Management student at The University of Utah — First-Generation college student. A lover of teamwork, building up individuals, and customer service. I recently changed my major from Business Administration to Accounting, so I am interested in opportunities to learn more about accounting in a hands-on experience, working with real customers. I moved to the U.S. 5 years ago, and this fantastic experience has helped me develop additional talents, skills, and professional resilience. Restarting my professional life in a new country with a different language and culture has been challenging, but you know what? If I could do that difficult transition successfully, rest assured that I can fix issues stopping the progress of the organization I work for. For a few years, I thought I would play professional soccer as a career, which I did for a few years; however, life had other plans. As an athlete, I had opportunities to build discipline and a growth mindset. Also, that experience pushed my mental and physical limits many times. I saw that, as John Wooden said, "A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player." I learned firsthand the value of teamwork — my professional life has been impacted by acquiring those emotional skills as a youth. Now, I find myself training customer service representatives, fixing complex issues to assist clients, and providing feedback to improve customer service practices. Seeing things with a positive perspective helps my team navigate difficult times until we figure out the solution. I am very attracted to the financial world, banking, investments, and technology. Therefore, computer software and technology come easy to me. I have several skills that enable me to think creatively; among those are:--Microsoft Excel Specialist.--Managerial and leadership experience with small and large groups of people.--Planning projects, operations, and selling over 50 products.--Bilingual: English and Spanish.--Critical thinking to solve complex issues.--Understanding the bigger picture to pay attention to small details.--Emotional intelligence to work with other people's needs and manage my own emotions.--Multitasking skills.
