and interns.

Accounting background in both the state and private sector. My duties ranged from conducting orientation, prescreening
and hiring applicants to maintaining budgets for State Representatives, overseeing all business functions, including key

regulations, union contracts, and agency procedures to employees and the public.
My goal is to provide excellent customer service in which I was nominated by our Director’s Office at our Formal

organizational needs.
My resume is attached to provide you with specific details concerning my background and qualifications. I would
appreciate the opportunity to interview for this position as I believe I possess the professionalism, skills and expertise you
