Additional Information
Avid in the use of Quickbooks Proffessional and Self-Employed. I do not know the compatibility of that and Quicken, but im willing to learn. I spend a great deal of time in the center on a daily basis, so communicating with members, assessing needs, and monitoring overall maintenance would be easy for me. I know the equipment better than anyone. I feel as though what I already do in the center and this position can easily go hand in hand, and potentially help increase memberships through my social media presence and advertising.
