About

I am the Assistant Director of Financial Aid & Student Services at the Ohio State College of Barber Styling, where I oversee student engagement, financial aid compliance, and operational support for one of Ohio’s longest-standing barber institutions. In this role, I take pride in guiding students through their educational journey while ensuring processes run smoothly behind the scenes. In addition to higher education leadership, I am also the Owner of Freedom Tax & Business Services, where I provide tax preparation, bookkeeping, and small business consulting. My passion lies in helping individuals and entrepreneurs stay compliant, maximize savings, and build long-term financial success. With a background that bridges education, finance, and entrepreneurship, I thrive in roles that allow me to mentor, organize, and create solutions that drive both personal and professional growth.

    I’ve been working as an accountant for 20 years. Lately, I’ve lost interest, there’s no growth and I don’t feel motivated anymore. How can I reenter the job market? What field should I look into to...

    It’s so powerful that you’re being honest about where you are — that’s the first step toward real change. 🙌🏽

    After 20 years in accounting, you’ve... built an incredible foundation of analytical, organizational, and financial skills that are highly transferable. You might find renewed excitement by pivoting into areas like:

    💼 Financial consulting or business strategy– helping small businesses grow.
    📊 Data analysis or financial technology (FinTech)– blending numbers with innovation.
    🧑🏽‍🏫 Education or training – teaching bookkeeping, QuickBooks, or business finance.
    🚀 Entrepreneurship or fractional CFO services– using your expertise on your own terms.

    To reenter the market, start by updating your résumé and LinkedIn to reflect results and impact, not just responsibilities. Then, network intentionally — online and offline — and consider short certifications (AI, data analytics, or project management) to refresh your skill set.

    You’ve already proven you can master complex systems — now it’s just about finding the next chapter that excites you again. ✨
