About me
I am an accounting support professional with more than 20 years of experience in payroll processing, accounts payable, procurement, and reconciliation. My background includes work in municipal government and nonprofit organizations, where I have built a reputation for accuracy, confidentiality, and dependable follow-through.
I currently serve as an Administrative Specialist II / I with the City of Hollywood in the Department of Public Utilities. In this role, I process bi-weekly payroll, handle attendance and pay-discrepancy questions, manage purchase requisitions and vendor invoices, and reconcile monthly division expenses.
I have also supported office operations as a Secretary / Office Manager for APWU Miami Area Local 172. There, I performed bookkeeping in QuickBooks, reconciled bank statements, supported payroll, managed vendor payments, coordinated events, and handled meeting calendars and conference logistics.
Earlier in my career, I worked as an Administrative Assistant / Pharmacy Technician, where I processed billing invoices, troubleshot payment issues, verified insurance coverage, and coordinated prior authorizations with physicians. This experience strengthened my administrative, billing, and customer service skills.
I hold a Bachelor of Science from Nova Southeastern University and am proficient in QuickBooks, Oracle Enterprise, and advanced Microsoft Excel. I also bring strong recordkeeping, data entry, and office management abilities, along with a typing speed of 55+ WPM.
I am proud of my long-term commitment to reliable administrative support and financial operations. My experience across payroll, bookkeeping, and procurement has prepared me to contribute effectively in roles that require organization, discretion, and attention to detail.
