ABOUT ME

Up Close & Personal

I began my professional journey as an Accountant in 2017 and have since worked in the government sector of financial reporting. I have gained exposure to the inner workings of a public or non-profit agency while simultaneously developing in financial reporting, grant management, budget projection, and general office competencies. I firmly believe that hard work eventually pays off, and I know that each day brings me closer to reaching my goals.

From government grants to non-profit projects, I’m always looking for the chance to apply my background and learn something new that I can apply to assisting my community. Explore my portfolio, and feel free to get in touch with any questions.
