Summary
Looking to return to my roots, after starting my career working with vulnerable populations and organizations serving their needs. Spending time in the accounting realm allowed me to expand my knowledge base and advance my skills, yet I yearn to work for an organization who is committed to making a difference in its commmunity. I would like to be a voice for those who need to be heard by serving in an organization advocating for a population deserving of respect and support.
