First and foremost I am a proud Eagle Scout who is skilled in Leadership, Sales, Public Speaking, Financial Accounting, and Microsoft Excel. Not only am I equipped with answers and solutions to aid to my peers and colleagues, but I also know what it means to be human. A bit about my working history:I began my professional career working in the service industry. I have worked in grocery stores, restaurants, and theaters.Customer service and determination were two of the best skills to add to my repertoire. These skills helped me learn how extremely important it is to be able to understand the needs of those around you and who you work with. I attended the University for California Merced to obtain my BS in Management and Business Economics. During this time I worked for the UC’s Catering Department, Lakeside Catering. While serving the guests of the UC, I was promoted twice to the Catering Manager. I will always remember this as one of the most rewarding service driven opportunities I had. I helped coordinate large events while at the same time also leading a strong team to success.After obtaining my degree, I earned the opportunity to work with Safti First as an AP Specialist. After my first year working, I was promoted to the role of AP Manager. Here I realized one of my greatest desires is to be able to tell meaningful data driven stories. I enjoy adding value to data using financial analysis. As 2023 came to an end, I was earned my promotion to Assistant Controller. I understand the effort that needs to be put in to understand financial analysis and will continue to excel in this field. I work extremely hard every day to deliver hard results, something I believe is fundamental in my ethical drive. I hope to continue growing and learning and am never afraid to take on a challenge.
