I was born and raised in San Jose, where I have lived my whole life. I have worked in several different industries since I have began my professional career, from working in a manufacturing environment after graduating from college, to public accounting firms, to a dental office. I pride myself on my ability to focus in on my work when it gets busy, and I am always willing to work the hours necessary to get my tasks done. While I have been deficient in my communications skills in the past, I continue to work to improve them now. As I work on passing the CPA exam, I hope to find a place to work where I can plant my roots and develop relationships with my coworkers while also growing as a professional and as a person.
