What I'm looking for

I seek a role that offers growth opportunities and values teamwork.

I am an experienced accounting professional with a strong background in managing accounts payable and receivable, ensuring accuracy and compliance in financial transactions. Currently, I serve as an Accounting Associate, where I handle weekly payments, set up new vendors, and maintain financial records for audits. My attention to detail and commitment to excellence have been key in executing timely monthly closes and reconciling various accounts.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles in accounting, including positions at Hollywood Casino and Republic Services, where I honed my skills in month-end close processes, journal entries, and resolving billing inquiries. My ability to communicate effectively with teams and clients has allowed me to build strong professional relationships and contribute positively to organizational goals.

With a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and a specialization in Business Administration from UCLA, I bring a unique perspective to my work, combining analytical skills with a deep understanding of business operations. I am fluent in Spanish, which enhances my ability to work in diverse environments and serve a broader client base.
