Personal Summary
I started off in high school working as a bookkeeper at the local drugstore. Later, as a single mother of 3, money management became a daily function of life. Realizing I had a knack for working with figures, I embraced accounting and finance as a career, attained my degree in Accounting, and have had a successful career in the financial arena for 30 years.
In addition to Accounting, working in field offices has allowed me to expand my career into Human Resources, low-level IT functions as well as, writing company Policy and Procedures, Employee and Safety Manuals.
