I have two years of experience in the shipping supply industry, where I held roles in Collections, Credit, and Financial Analysis. I later transitioned into the transportation industry as a Compliance Analyst and was quickly promoted to Assistant Accounting Manager. In August 2019, I advanced to Validation Manager, where I successfully built a new department from the ground up. My career continued to grow with additional financial analyst experience in the beverage industry. Currently, I’m serving in the dynamic role of Accounting and Database Administrator at Special Olympics Wisconsin, where I continue to learn and grow every day.
