Summary
In 2015 I left my country in Fiji Islands on Green card. I worked in various places but I actually I spend 22 years as an Accountant to two most highly institute in Fiji Islands, (Office of the Diocese of Polynesia and The Pacific Regional Seminary). I left my country because of my children's to live a better life and education.

I love my preset job but I need to move on for better pay so that I could meet to pay monthly bills, and to pursue back my job ethnic as an accountant and office skills such as typing, office practice, and customers services.
