Scored in the top 3 and instead of being offered the senior accounting job was appointed to the position of 1st Deputy Comptroller by the City Comptroller at the time, Maureen Walker. 1st Deputy Comptroller comes with a great deal of responsibility being 2nd in charge of the entire City’s finances. Worked in that capacity from 2014 to 2018. In 2018 the former Comptroller lost her elected seat to the current Comptroller Deborah Reynolds. In this change in administration, Reynolds let me go and brought in her own team. Started working as the fiscal analyst for the Westchester board of legislators. After two years working for the board of legislator I was offered a job as a senior budget analyst for Westchester county’s budget department this is the position I currently hold.
