Bernadett Sinka
Summary
I am currently working at NPA at the HSE. This has allowed me to develop and improve my skills at teamwork, time management, planning and organization. My proficiency with computers includes data entry, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, Saga 50, and the SAP Payroll system which I have earned through my professional life and studies. Alongside my work, I am also studying Accounting and Finance at Griffith College and hope for a career in this field upon completion. I eventually want to become a chartered accountant. I am progressing well in both in my career and studies thanks to my decisive nature, aptitude for self-development and determination to achieve my goals.
