Summary
After working and learning for the past 20 years in the transportation and agriculture industries, I'm ready to pivot in a new direction in my professional life. Being the sole employee of my own business gave me the chance to wear many different hats, including the accountant/bookkeeper.
I'm currently enrolled at my local community college to further my knowledge in the field, but would like to start learning on the job as well. I feel that experiences in my previous roles have given me strong teamwork and problem-solving skills, as well as the expertise to manage my time and work independently to achieve goals.
