I am currently the Business Manager in the office of student media at Louisiana State University. My position here essentially consists of all the office's accounting and finance functions such as budgeting and planning along with the Director, payment collections, invoice processing, as well as handling purchase requisitions and purchase orders, and contract specifications for public bids. Prior to this position, I was the financial accountant for the Ascension Parish Library in Gonzales, LA. I am currently pursuing a master's degree in public administration at LSU where my interests are primarily focused on how history has shaped our current attitudes of administration, politics, and government. My future career plans are focused on accounting and finance related jobs in higher education administration.
