OBJECTIVE
Having recently completed my M.S. (Accounting) degree through UNCG, and having spent
the past six years working as the bookkeeper for a modestly sized local firm, I’m eager to
expand the scope of my endeavors and move into a more challenging and interesting
occupation.
As a quiet, confident and reliable individual, I’m looking for a work environment where I can
function productively, both independently and with co-workers. I’m available to start
immediately and eager to learn new skills.
