About Andrea Valenzuela

I have a passion for entrepreneurship and small business development. In the past 20 years I have had the privilege to work with business owners at companies of various sizes. In this time, I have learned as much from these entrepreneurs as they have learned from me. Understanding business workflow comes naturally to me. I have a strong ability to create systems which streamline day-to-day operations, particularly as it relates to finance and accounting. I also have the ability to take difficult concepts and present them in a way that is accessible for everyone, which is particularly helpful when I am teaching Economics. Most importantly, I bring an entrepreneurial perspective to everything I do. This means taking responsibility and ownership for any task I am working on. It also means, coming with a solution based mentality to any obstacles I encounter.
