What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values efficiency and offers growth opportunities in accounting and HR.

I am an experienced and detail-oriented accounting and HR professional with over 5 years of expertise in bookkeeping, payroll processing, and operations leadership. My journey has equipped me with the skills to manage full-charge accounting functions, reconcile complex accounts, and ensure tax compliance while improving operational workflows. I pride myself on being tech-savvy and bilingual, fluent in both English and Spanish, which allows me to support diverse teams effectively in both in-office and remote environments.

In my current role as a Full-Charge Accountant at Major’s Body and Paint, I perform daily bookkeeping, maintain accurate financial records, and ensure budget alignment. Previously, as the Director of Operations at the Academy for Massage Therapy Training, I led cross-functional teams, managed financial operations, and directed HR functions, focusing on employee training and performance management. My commitment to operational excellence and efficiency drives my work, and I continuously seek to implement workflows that enhance productivity.
