CAREER SABBATICAL
Dedicated a significant portion of my time to raising children and providing full-time care for my aging parents. During this period, I also managed financial oversight, documentation, and administrative coordination responsibilities. Additionally, I worked as a freelance auditor and completed various projects, such as auditing healthcare bills for a company with multiple offices and over 5000 employees. In this audit, I discovered an overpayment of $15,000. As a result, I made necessary adjustments to the employee roster and trained departments to operate more efficiently. I also conducted safety training and new employee training seminars.
