Management Accounting

Seasoned, talented, and participative leader with strong decision-making

and people skills, highly competent and motivated to maximize

organizational performance and profitability as a financial and operational

executive in high-growth and established organizations

I have worked hard to be considered a top choice. However, it takes more

than knowledge and experience, even though they are key. It takes being a

visionary to intuitively understand and apply strategies in decision

making; and it takes being a charismatic leader who has character and

tolerance for being able to direct and listen to staff. I am grateful to

my teachers, mentors, and parents for my progress and influencing my 3-
