My Big Goal 

I’d like to learn enough about accounting procedures to be promoted to Senior Accountant. It’s my primary goal, and I’m working toward it. I’m really excited about taking that on.

My Big Lesson 

Communication. In a remote job, communication is the key to getting things done and coordinating everything we need to do. When I have solid communication with my leader and coworkers, it’s the best way to accomplish things. 

My Favorite Memory 

When Mark, Uma, and JP came to Barranquilla, I also met my team in Pod 5 and some other Colombian colleagues. It was great getting to know the people on the other side of the screen, hanging out, and having fun together. 

My Big Surprise

I’ve been surprised by how fast the company has grown. When we started, the processes were new for the clients we had. Now, we have many more new clients and processes, new things to learn, and even new coworkers.

I’m surprised by how much I’ve learned, and it’s allowed me to improve myself along the way. 

What I’m Proud Of 

When I started, I acquired two clients immediately because there was no one else to do it. I was nervous and excited about it in my first two weeks of learning about their workflows and preferences. 

However, things went well once I focused on organizing processes and understanding their procedures. I’m happy with my clients now. I call them mis pelaitos, and I’m proud of how we’ve managed to move forward — I love working with them.
