My strong business acumen and finance knowledge has allowed me to deliver on key business outcomes and ensure the continued success of the organizations in which I have worked. My attention to detail is high, as is my persistence to achieve to the best of my ability. Integrity and ethics in the workplace is of huge importance to me. As a leader and manager of teams, I have developed a collaborative and inclusive approach to driving the performance of the teams I lead. As a finance and accounting professional, fact, process and compliance are important. As a leader, empowering others, encouraging contribution and team work are important. I foster a team environment where these attributes are recognized and rewarded, ultimately driving performance.

Finance is a real passion of mine. I enjoy learning, being challenged and keeping abreast of ‘all things’ finance. I enjoy the analytics aspect of the work I do, as well as the interpretation of results to deliver sustained and improved performance. The numbers in any business can be used as a valuable tool to analyze, track, understand and predict current and future threats and opportunities, enabling businesses to lay strong growth foundations for the future.
