Mary Garcia assists Sarasota immigrants with tax and accounting issues

Mary Garcia assists Sarasota immigrants with tax and accounting issues

Mary Garcia did not speak English when she arrived in Sarasota as a child with her mother.  She worked hard at Booker High School to master the language and get into college.  After studying two years at SCF, she transferred to the University of Florida to work on her Bachelor’s degree.  She likes to tackle her challenges head-on and when she went to UF, she decided to major in English.  From early on, she knew she wanted to aid the immigrant community and during her college years in Gainesville, she volunteered and taught English as a Second Language to migrant workers.

After college, she worked at Jaensch Immigration Law Firm.  During this time, she also discovered a passion for business and accounting.  While working full-time, she took accounting courses at USF and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting.  Her personal connection to immigrant issues and the earned experience while working at Jaensch and other accounting organizations, ultimately helped her land her dream job.  Through tenacity and persistence, she earned a position working for the largest accounting firm in town.  As an In-Charge Accountant at Kerkering Barberio, Mary now helps other immigrants with their accounting and tax issues.
