I analyze large and small data sets for impacts to the system. I compare pricing offers to validate vendor claims. I review contracts and spend categories for potential savings. I work with multiple departments and managers throughout the system as well as our VAT teams in deciding how to proceed with proposals and requests. I have worked small projects that took a grand total of one hour and I have projects I have been working on for over 6 months. I love that every project is unique in some way and every analysis presents different challenges. But, I also love that I have a solid idea what I can expect from any given day.

Better than your neighbors, I insure you like I would my friends.
