DEBBIE CHEN-TAM
PROFILE
Being an immigrant from China, I
have been living in the bay area for
over thirty years. I supported myself
thru college and graduate school
while working for various positions
such as dental assistant, office admin
etc. I got married back in 1998 and
now have two children, a 21 years old
daughter and a 15 years old son. In
2002, my husband started his own
business and I have been helping him
with office administration and
bookkeeping since then. Thus, I
realized that basic accounting and
book-keeping skill is essential. I also
wanted to make sure my children
can learn from me so they can be
better in financial planning. Hence, I
pursued and received an associate
degree in business accounting in
2020. With over 20 years working in
the business field, I am determined
and motivated to continue
contributing my skill and knowledge
to the business community.
