About

I’m an Accounts Receivable and Administrative professional with a strong background in invoicing, payment reconciliation, and financial recordkeeping. My experience spans manufacturing, services, and small business environments, where I’ve supported daily operations, maintained accurate accounts, and delivered responsive customer service. Proficient in Sage 300, VersaPay, and Microsoft Office Suite, I enjoy creating efficient processes, solving problems, and ensuring financial accuracy. I work well both independently and as part of a team, and I take pride in keeping operations organized and running smoothly. I’m seeking opportunities in Accounts Receivable, Accounting Assistant, or Administrative roles where I can contribute to team success, streamline workflows, and support organizational growth. Known for my attention to detail, reliability, and ability to adapt quickly, I bring a proactive and solutions-oriented approach to every role I take on.
