Professional Accountant 2 at Florida International University Foundation, Inc., supporting funds and projects through financial reporting and coordination.

United States

Message

At Florida International University Foundation, Inc., I support the Foundation Finance team by coordinating financial activity across funds and stakeholders. I review financial information, reconcile accounts, and prepare reports and documentation that help stakeholders understand fund activity.

As a Professional Accountant 1, I managed monthly close activities across eight direct-support organizations and funds. I also researched discrepancies with internal departments and external auditors and prepared reports and supporting materials.

Earlier, as an Accounting Specialist and Sr. Accounting Clerk, I prepared invoices and financial reports, processed pay cycles, and maintained accurate records. I also worked with departments and vendors to address inquiries and resolve discrepancies.

My creative work includes redesigning marketing materials, a business logo, website layout, and branding for The Congdon Connection, with EWM Realtors Inc. I also created exhibition materials as a remote student intern for the Frost Art Museum at Florida International University, and I hold a BFA in Digital Arts with a major in Graphic Design.
