Detail-oriented accounting student with hands-on experience in financial operations.
What I'm looking for
I am a motivated accounting student currently pursuing my Bachelor of Science in Accounting at the University at Albany. With a strong foundation in financial operations, I have gained hands-on experience through my roles in the automotive service industry, where I excelled in cash handling, transaction reconciliation, and customer service. My academic achievements, including a GPA of 3.85 in my Associate of Applied Science in Accounting, reflect my dedication to the field.
In my current position as an Appointment Scheduler at Lia Nissan of Colonie, I effectively manage service appointments, ensuring optimal timing for customers while maintaining accurate records of service histories. My role as a Cashier has further honed my skills in reconciling daily reports and managing customer transactions with precision. I am eager to leverage my analytical and technical skills in a professional accounting internship or junior role to gain real-world experience before graduation.
