United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a senior at Kean University pursuing a B.S. in Finance, graduating in Spring 2026, and I hold a Project Management Certification. I bring experience in strategic planning, accounting support, retail, and graphic design.
Currently, I work as an AR/AP Assistant where I enter vendor bills into QuickBooks, match supporting documents, and maintain data entry accuracy across spreadsheets, tracking logs, and reports for management. I also prepare customs and import documentation, and I manage follow-ups for outstanding customer balances.
Previously, I interned with the Legislative Black Caucus, gaining insight into policy, communications, and public service. I also serve as President of the Mu Pi Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., leading chapter operations and community initiatives—an experience that’s strengthened how I align people, strategy, and systems for lasting impact.
