I'm dedicated to, and thrive in three areas - corporate accounting and compliance; learning and application of new knowledge; and management by educating and inspiring others.I have always been curious and enjoy applying what I learn in varied settings, which led to a BS in Accounting, an MBA, and a career as an internal auditor and accounting manager. These roles allowed me to dive deeply into the inner-workings of companies, audit their processes, and ensure they were compliant. Realizing I wanted to share that knowledge, I obtained my MEd and have had the opportunity to empower younger generations as a business and health educator exploring areas such as business law, management, entrepreneurship, accounting, marketing, and consumer sciences.With over 15 years of experience in private firms across a wide range of industries and varied business lines, in addition to over 12 years as a business and health educator, I've developed deep accounting expertise, extensive management capabilities, and exceptional communication skills.I'm analytical, with deep conceptual and problem-solving skills, and I'm also tech-savvy, adaptable, flexible, pragmatic, and fun.I'm skilled at: • Financial planning & analysis• Financial reporting• Budgeting• Audit design, planning, & implementation• Compliance• Accounting management• Extensive business practices & operational experiences• Vendor management & negotiations• Communicating, educating, and training• Microsoft Office, including MS Excel• Experience with various accounting systems, such as SAP and Oracle
