About

With a robust background in accounting and human resources, I have developed a comprehensive skill set that spans payroll management, financial reconciliation, and HR operations. I began my career as a Junior Accountant at U-Haul International, where I honed my skills in journal entry processing and financial data analysis. Transitioning to Standard Construction Company, Inc., I advanced from Human Resources Assistant to Payroll and Benefits Manager, and currently serve as the Accounting Manager. In this role, I have successfully streamlined payroll processes and implemented a paperless billing system, saving the company significant costs. My educational foundation includes a high school diploma from Agua Fria High School and coursework at Estrella Mountain Community College. My experience is underscored by a commitment to accuracy, compliance, and efficiency in financial and HR functions.
