What I'm looking for

I seek a long-term position using my tax examination, training, and leadership skills in a collaborative, growth-oriented organization.

I am an accounting graduate with extensive experience as a Tax Examiner at the Internal Revenue Service and a background as a hairstylist and small-business operator. I consistently processed high volumes of cases with perfect on-time performance and earned performance bonuses for exceeding expectations.

As a Quality Reviewer, Lead and Subject Matter Expert, I trained new hires, oversaw seven Tax Examiners, delivered presentations using Excel and PowerPoint, and submitted change requests that were implemented 90% of the time. I completed Certified Instructor training to strengthen my communication and presentation abilities.

I have practical experience researching and interpreting tax law, performing audits (including Puerto Rico citizen audits), and using multiple IRS systems (IDRS, AMS, EFDS, FinCEN) along with daily tools like Outlook, Word, scanner/printer and eFax. I can operate independently and support team members in technical tasks.

Earlier I built and ran a successful hairstyling practice with an 87% client retention rate, handled my own marketing and tax recordkeeping, and maintained professional development through continuing education. I am a detail-oriented self-starter who values time management, clear communication and teamwork.
