Who I am
I was born and raised in Ethiopia, a country rich in culture and history. Growing up, I experienced the vibrant traditions and values that shaped my character and resiliece. My journey took a significant turn when I moved to the United States over 20 years ago, a transition that was both challenging and rewarding.
My first job in the USA paid me just $5 an hour. It was a humble beginning, but it taught me the value of hard work and perseverance. Determined to build a better future, I invested in my education, which became the cornerstone of my career.
I pursued and obtained multiple degrees:
- Degree in Accounting: This foundation allowed me to understand the intricacies of financial management and laid the groundwork for my future endeavors.
- Bachelor's in Business Management: This degree broadened my understanding of business operations and strategic planning.
- Master's in International Business Relations: This advanced degree equipped me with the skills to navigate the global business landscape and fostered my interest in international markets.
Currently, I am the Technology Procurement Manager for a fire and safety company. This role involves managing procurement processes, negotiating contracts, and ensuring that our company has the best technological resources to operate efficiently. It is a position that requires strategic thinking, meticulous planning, and a deep understanding of the industry.
Throughout my life, I have faced numerous obstacles and challenges. However, I am proud of my ability to remain consistent and never give up on my goals. This resilience has been a driving force behind my achievements and growth.
Two years ago, I took a significant step by opening my own accounting firm.My firm offers a range of services, including:
- Bookkeeping Services: Helping businesses maintain accurate financial records.
- Supporting New Businesses: Assisting startups with the necessary documentation and guiding them towards achieving their missions and goals.
My accounting firm is not just a business; it is a way for me to give back to the community and support budding entrepreneurs in their journeys.
Last year, I expanded my efforts to empower others by creating a YouTube channel. The channel focuses on:
- Teaching Side Hustles and Online Jobs: Providing practical advice and strategies to help individuals find additional income sources.
- Courses for Maximizing Potential and Income Opportunities: Offering educational content to enhance professional skills.
- Guidance on Resumes and Job Interviews: Helping viewers build effective resumes and prepare for job interviews.
- Exploring Digital Marketing: Educating viewers on digital marketing strategies to expand their business reach.
My goal is to empower my viewers and clients with the essential knowledge and tools they need to achieve their professional and personal goals. I believe in the power of education and mentorship, and I am committed to helping others navigate and succeed in today's competitive job market.As I look to the future, I am excited about the potential for growth and the opportunities to continue making a positive impact on the lives of others. My journey from Ethiopia to the United States has been filled with learning, growth, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. I am grateful for every experience and look forward to the adventures and achievements that lie ahead.
