As a Business Analyst in Budget Planning & Analysis at Tucson Electric Power, I specialize in managing the generation budget for our division—a substantial $120 million annually. My role involves developing accurate forecasts, performing in-depth variance analysis, and providing data-driven insights to support strategic financial decisions. One of my key responsibilities is preparing weekly performance reports on our power and gas production and sales, which are presented directly to the CEO and other executives. This experience has given me a unique perspective on the critical financial metrics and operational efficiency measures that drive successful energy production.I recently completed my Bachelor’s degree in Business Management from Western Governors University, where I honed my skills in strategic planning, financial analysis, and project management. This academic background, combined with my hands-on experience, allows me to bridge the gap between complex financial data and actionable business strategies.With a strong foundation in budgeting, variance analysis, and reporting, I am passionate about using data to solve problems, identify cost-saving opportunities, and enhance decision-making at all levels of the organization. I am eager to continue building my career in financial analysis and business strategy, especially within sectors that value data-driven, analytical approaches to budgeting and financial management.
