QUALIFICATIONS:
Accounting:
I entered the accounting field over 8 years ago to help local businesses compete with corporations. I audited with a "Big 11" CPA firm and assisted the controller of a national corporation. Now, in my own CPA service, I teach accounting concepts and tools (in English and Spanish) to entrepreneurs.

The myth is that accounting is all numbers and math. The reality is that it's law and protocol, organization and presentation. Whether presenting to management or giving a seminar in Mexico, Kenya, or Modesto, California, I strive to make it easy for you (the audience) to understand and learn.

Drama and Public Speaking:
I've been a Performer, Director, Co-Director, Producer, Stage Manager, or Costumer for various amateur theater productions in various locations in California and Washington from 1978-2003.
I have held business and economic sections of water resource development seminars in Kenya, Ethiopia, and Mexico from 2001-2008.

Teaching Experience:
- Alliance Small Business Development Center, Modesto, CA, 2011-present
- Saturday Scholars, Tutor for 6th to 9th grade composition, San Angelo, TX, 1986-87

HONORS:
- MBA Outstanding Student, Honorable Mention, CSUS, 6/09
- Graduated Cum Laude, CSUS, 2001
- Meritorious Achievement Award: Stage Manager for Noises Off. The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, CSUS, February, 2001
- Hispanic Youth Leadership Council Outstanding Student Mentor, Hispanic Leadership Council, Johanson H.S., Modesto, CA, 1999-2000
- Meritorious Service Award,U.S. Naval Reserves, Seattle, WA, 1988

Algebra 1

I can help make the connection between your coursework, your marketability as a job applicant, as well as your promotability at your current employment. Algebra I and Excel skills are very marketable and will give you a competitive advantage in many fields.

I use Algebra I concepts in my work as an accountant, as well as in past positions, such as electrical linework. At work, I use Excel a great deal in everyday applications.

Career Development

In this current economic environment, job seekers are thrust into a highly competitive arena. From the inside and out, I have actively sought out resources in career development: career selection, job acquisition, and promotion. I've taken job skill classes, aptitude testing, worked alongside our county's TANF department, and worked in HR for 3 years. As a CPA, I can also offer insights into various industries.

Tax Preparation

As a CPA, I am certified in tax preparation. I have assisted the income tax division at a major national CPA firm and local CPA firm.

Finally, I assist business owners comply with tax requirements and advise on penalty reduction requests.
