What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a bookkeeping opportunity where I can apply QuickBooks, financial organization, data reconciliation, budgeting, and meticulous compliance tracking to support accurate operations.

I'm transitioning into bookkeeping after managing comprehensive household and educational budgets, expense tracking, financial planning, and resource allocation since 2012.

As a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, I bring meticulous financial organization, data reconciliation, Advanced Excel, and a strong commitment to accuracy. I've also managed compliance documentation and long-term operational schedules under strict state educational regulations.

At the University of Notre Dame, PLU, and LLNL, I worked with complex data sets, computer simulations, mathematical models, and technical reporting where data integrity was essential.

My background in physics and applied mathematics helps me turn detailed information into clear, organized records and communicate complex concepts accessibly.
