Highlights Implemented

Customized A/R report for top level management at Putzmeister America and ran depreciation on capitalized fixed assets that I created. Saved Walgreens over $100,000 by creating Excel database for bonds and certificates to replace paper files. The older bonds and certificates that should have been cancelled were renewed instead of researched. This costs Walgreens unnecessarily. Leader of the Rewards & Recognition Committee and a recipient of the Blueprint Foundation Award for Value Creation Services for Walgreens. Strong leadership skills, the go to person in the office, very organized and pay close attention to detail. Interpersonal skills, with a solid education in business, accounting, and programming. Skills include adaptability when encountering new projects, new software, and new procedures.
