Summary

As a hotel auditor at Residence Inn by Marriott, I am responsible for producing audit reports that reflect the day-to-day performance of the company. I work with accounting and financial records, handling high-volume, fast-paced work with accuracy and efficiency. I also collaborate with the sales, marketing, and management teams to provide data analysis and operational solutions. In addition, I am an audit and tax intern at Cray Kaiser LTD. I specialize in audit procedures for compilation and review. I also work on tax return preparation for individuals and businesses.

I am currently pursuing a B.S. in Accounting at the University of Illinois Chicago, where I am a member of the Accounting Club, Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity, and president of the Interfraternity Council. I have held various leadership positions and have demonstrated my skills in team building, communication, and presentation. I have also gained valuable experience in inventory management and customer service as a Produce Team leader at Mariano's for three years. My goal is to apply my academic knowledge and practical skills to a challenging and rewarding career in auditing.
