About

I am a dedicated business professional with over 15 years of experience in banking, finance, customer service, and public administration. Currently, I work as an Account Clerk and Purchasing Agent for the Housing Authority of the City of Orange, where I support financial operations, procurement, vendor management, budgeting, and administrative functions. My experience has strengthened my skills in organization, problem-solving, compliance, and working with both the public and professionals across different industries. I am currently completing my bachelor’s degree in Business at Kean University as a first-generation college student. As I continue to grow professionally, my goal is to expand my leadership experience and pursue opportunities where I can make a meaningful impact within public administration and management.
