What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for professional growth, ideally in a supportive company culture.

I am a highly motivated professional currently working as a Financial Aid Advisor at Universal Technical Institute. My role involves assisting students with FAFSA applications, reviewing eligibility for various types of financial aid, and counseling them on the best options available. I take pride in my ability to help students navigate the complexities of financial aid, ensuring they receive the support they need to succeed in their educational pursuits.

Prior to this, I served as an Accounting Assistant Manager at Air Dynasty AC & Heating, where I was responsible for payroll management, financial reporting, and onboarding new employees. My attention to detail and strong organizational skills allowed me to maintain accuracy in financial disbursements and compliance with regulations. I have also gained valuable experience in order processing and customer service roles, which have honed my ability to communicate effectively and resolve issues promptly.

With a strong work ethic and adaptability, I am eager to take on new challenges and continue growing in my career. I am passionate about helping others and thrive in environments that allow me to utilize my problem-solving skills and critical thinking abilities.
