Destiny Lozoya
@destinylozoya
Payroll and accounting professional focused on accurate pay processing and dependable administrative support.
What I'm looking for
I build trust through accuracy, follow-through, and calm execution. In my current Payroll Accounting Clerk role, I ensure employees are paid correctly by catching under- and overpayments and correcting them for the next pay cycle.
I also own payroll verification each pay period, including gross pay report verification, and I manage Direct Deposit setup in the Visions system while confirming employees work their scheduled hours. Alongside that, I handle Accounts Receivable—ensuring checks and incoming money are deposited to the correct accounts and logged properly.
Before payroll, I supported classroom success as a Teacher Aid, helping with intervention groups and reading lessons, as well as assisting with DIBBELS testing and scoring. I bring a fast-learning mindset, strong attention to detail, and the ability to work well under pressure—ready to contribute to a team that values consistency and improvement.
