My time at Classic Communities is how I discovered my natural ability for accounting and financial analysis. I started as a temp, working on miscellaneous tasks, with my only accounting education being the basic college classes all business students must take. Yet I picked up enough accounting knowledge on the job to be formally promoted to an accounting position and to become the go-to person for any ad-hoc financial analysis. By the time I left, I was responsible for managing the cash flow for the company, with over $25MM in annual revenue.

In Peabody's Preparatory division, I taught pre-professional ballet to students aged 6 and up, as well as ballet for adults (both adult beginners and adults with training). In addition, I coordinated productions, events, class/rehearsal scheduling, marketing collateral, student registration, and parent/student communication. I also administered the Estelle Dennis/Peabody Dance tuition-free program for boys, which served underprivileged students.

My time at the bank included the conversion from Commerce Bank Harrisburg to Metro Bank. Due to how quickly and thoroughly I learned the new banking software, I was named a "Store Specialist" for the conversion. The Specialist role made me one of the leads in my store for executing the conversion.

I started at PHEAA in the loan consolidation call center, providing over-the-phone customer service. Ever an analyst and problem-solver, I noticed that some of my routine tasks seemed possible to automate. I took initiative. Thanks to having learned the basics of computer programming as a child from my dad, I was able to use VBA to automate several tasks. From there, I moved into a Technical Analyst role, focused on reporting and automation using SQL, VBA, and Excel.
