I have extensive experience in all aspects of accounts payable, payroll, budget maintenance, cost

reporting, account reconciliations, as well as start- up productions. I am dedicated and a quick learner.

While production accounting requires the ability to work independently, I consider myself to be a team

player with the ability to execute sound judgment, see the bigger picture while maintaining a strong

attention to detail and handle confidential information.

In the field of Accounting, it is important to be detail oriented, accurate, organized and an analytical

thinker. I honed these skills while working in the entertainment industry for companies like 20th Century

Fox Television, Bunim-Murray Productions and MTV Networks, where the environment is fast-paced

and situations can turn on a dime. These specific conditions enabled me to become flexible and versatile

in order to adapt to the needs of the production. I also feel my strengths lie in communication, not only

in terms of relaying financial information and procedures, but also in fostering relationships.

I was recently hired by Digital Domain Media Group to fill the position of Assistant Production Accountant

in Port St. Lucie, Florida. However, before my start date, I learned the company had closed its doors.

As a result, I am highly mobile (still living in their corporate housing) and relocating would be ideal.
