What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities, a collaborative culture, and the chance to make a positive impact.

I am a dedicated Finance and Accounting Professional with over 8 years of experience in various roles that demand a high level of expertise in accounting practices. My career has been marked by my ability to develop, implement, and strengthen organizational internal controls while managing day-to-day accounting operations. I have a strong understanding of financial management, compliance, and risk management, which has enabled me to contribute effectively to the financial health of the organizations I have worked with.

Throughout my career, I have excelled in financial planning and analysis, budgeting, and forecasting. I have successfully prepared and presented financial statements, maintained accurate records in compliance with GAAP, and managed grant funding and restricted funds. My experience spans across different sectors, including nonprofit organizations, where I have supported financial operations and ensured compliance with accounting standards. I am passionate about sustainability and community development, which aligns with my current role at Trees for the Future.
