What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to combine my accounting skills with my passion for education, in a supportive and collaborative environment.

As a dedicated professional with a background in accounting and education, I have cultivated a diverse skill set that allows me to excel in various roles. My experience as a Staff Accountant and Administrative Assistant at Jeannie Espinosa, CPA, PA, has equipped me with the ability to prepare and review financial statements, manage bookkeeping duties, and ensure compliance with financial regulations. I take pride in my attention to detail and my commitment to maintaining accurate records, which has been instrumental in my success in this role.

In addition to my accounting expertise, I have a strong passion for working with children, demonstrated through my roles as an Event Assistant at Wonder Play and as a Substitute Teacher and Tutor at LP Learning Center. Engaging with children and supporting their educational journeys has been incredibly rewarding. I believe that my ability to communicate effectively and adapt to various situations makes me a valuable asset in any environment focused on growth and learning.
