Summary

Dedicated and detail-oriented accounting student with a proven track record of leadership and accountability, seeking an internship opportunity to further develop my skills and contribute to a dynamic accounting team. As a Resident Advisor at Montana State University, Bozeman, I honed my communication, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills while fostering a supportive living environment for my fellow students. This role allowed me to effectively manage a diverse group of individuals and handle various administrative tasks, laying a strong foundation for my organizational abilities.

My experience as a Student Worker in GSA Procurement for the County of Ventura provided me with invaluable exposure to a governmental financial system (VCFMS). I collaborated with procurement professionals to streamline processes, conduct data analyses, and ensure compliance with legal, and department specific regulations. This experience enhanced my understanding of budgeting, procurement, and financial management in a public sector context.
