Summary
I am originally from Taiwan and have over 15 years of accounting experience, building a strong foundation in organization, accuracy, and financial responsibility. After having children, I chose to step away from my professional career to focus on my family and became a full-time caregiver for 12 years. During this time, I continued to strengthen my time management, problem-solving, and multitasking skills. I am now preparing to re-enter the workforce and maintain an open and proactive attitude toward learning, starting from the basics and continuing to grow. English is not my first language, but I am eager to learn, actively improve my communication skills, and I believe I can progress quickly in a real working environment.
