What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values growth and innovation.

With a robust background in finance and accounting, I have honed my skills through various roles, including my current position as an Accounting Assistant at CCK Strategies. My responsibilities include reviewing documentation, processing payments, and preparing financial statements, which have equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of financial operations.

Previously, I served as a Finance Assistant II at Ingredion Incorporated, where I managed a diverse portfolio of over 60 customers, ensuring timely account reconciliation and effective communication. My experience in sales coordination at Tulstar Products further enhanced my ability to collaborate across departments and maintain accuracy in billing processes.

I am passionate about leveraging my analytical skills and attention to detail to contribute to a dynamic team, ensuring financial integrity and supporting organizational goals.
