Experienced Accounting Major/Entrepreneur Qualities

*************@*****.***
I worked at The Rootstown Water Service Company from 2001 to 2003. I handled all of the accounts receivable and customer service. When the payments came in I entered them into our system as well as print them on written ledgers. I have experience doing annual, quarterly and monthly reports. I am an accounting student currently. I work well in teams or individually and am a great leader when the opportunity arises. I thrive on learning fast and being able to follow directions precisely. I have worked with city engineers, helping them organize the mylars for the city waterline blueprints and other various tasks.
From there I went on to college for computer office and then again for accounting. In 2007, I partnered with someone in a construction business where I handled all the training, payroll, customer accounts, ordering materials, and book keeping.
In 2020, I began a non profit organization called Miracles in Mason Jars which I am currently trying to grow to succeed. This non profit is geared for helping with the housing of our Veterans thru working with local agencies.
