Additional Experience
I was privileged to own two businesses from 2006-2023. During which time, I successfully learned how to properly pay sales tax, annual income tax, accounts payables and receivables. Learned how to problem solve with different situations as they arose. Resolved issues with hostile customers while keeping a professional attitude. Operating my own business has taught me countless skills and noteworthy experiences that I hope to be able to highlight in the workplace.
