Never one to shy away from a challenge, I am a hard working financial professional with 15 years experience in the energy industry. I have excellent data visualization skills and outstanding verbal and written communication skills allowing me to explain complex topics in a clear and accessible manner. My key professional accomplishments include: staffing and managing a team of power traders, leading the valuation of energy businesses and assets, and designing and implementing a hedging program for a utility's $500M/year fuel and purchased power portfolio.I love to learn, both on the job and in the classroom. By complementing my professional experience with continuous educational pursuits I am ready to meet challenges head on and deliver exceptional results for my employer, colleagues, and customers.
