Highly motivated individual with six years of professional accounting and finance experience in the US and Europe. My strengths are in risk & control (R&C), financial planning (FP&A), business process engineering (P2P, OTC), accounting month-end-close, and data analysis (SQL). My passion is in helping businesses make smart, strategic financial decisions, via clear, actionable insights, and build a strong financial infrastructure. I'm in the process of gaining an MBA at UNC Kenan-Flagler to strengthen my business education foundation, sharpen my acumen, and bridge the gap between my experience and the next step of my career. My next career endeavor is joining the small-business arena as a manager and/or owner, specifically in North Carolina.
