Dedicated bookkeeper with strong interpersonal and organizational skills.

What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values teamwork and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a mature, observant, and creative individual with a passion for accounting. My intuition and communication skills have made me a supportive and valued member of any team. I take pride in my ability to prioritize and organize tasks effectively, ensuring that everything runs smoothly and efficiently.

My professional journey began at Genesis Family Entertainment Centre, where I developed my time management and multitasking skills while working in various roles. I later pursued a career in nursing, gaining valuable experience in patient care and professional systems. Currently, as a self-employed bookkeeper, I enjoy building relationships with clients and helping them maximize their accounting potential.
