EDUCATION
2012-2018
Bachelor of Accounting Degree
TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY
Initially, I declared a major in Nursing due to my passion for healthcare. After my freshman year, I realized I enjoyed my math classes more than my science classes for my major. Accounting ended up being the perfect major for me! I didn't take classes in 2015 for financial reasons; but I graduated May 2018.
2008-2012
Distinguished High School Diploma
STONY POINT HIGH SCHOOL
I was involved in a variety of school activities. Including varsity soccer and junior varsity tennis and cheer-leading. I participated in UIL Accounting and received Certified Nurse Assistant certification through a science and medicine program. My GPA at graduation was a 4.0.

EXPERTISE
I'M A HARD-WORKER
Regardless of where I work, I always fully commit myself. I push my mind and body to the limits to produce quality work. Previous supervisors praise my strong work ethic and commitment to company goals. As a server, I set the standard for new employees on how to manage time and resources effectively.
I'M AN ACCOUNTING GURU
My High School accounting teacher inspired me to get into accounting. As a General Ledger Accountant at ERS, debits and credits are my life! My studies have given me an in-depth knowledge of Accounting policies and procedures. These principals have been reinforced by my financial reporting role in the field.
I ENJOY MARKETING
At Cedar Park Eye Care, I worked to improve social media presence and built a website for the business. I think my creativity and passion are an asset to any employer. I hope for these photos to represent my dedication to increasing sales for my company.
