Summary
I am a motivated professional looking to make a career change with proven work ethic and attention to detail through many years in the mental health field. While mental health and accounting are very different fields, there are many skills that overlap. Through my work as a counselor, I utilized and strengthened my problem-solving, pattern-recognition, communication, and documentation skills which I believe will all prove to be useful in the accounting field.
