I analyzed vendor proposals and contracts and presented findings to management to effectively maximize cost savings for the company. I routinely developed and distributed reports to communicate the effectiveness of the Corporate Procurement division to the CFO and other executive management.

I managed the review process for Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data by reviewing loan documents for compliance and accuracy, maintaining a database of federally required data, and submission of a portion of that database to the Office of the Comptroller of Currency. I assisted with the analysis of this data for fair lending compliance.

I researched theory and best practices in suburban retail corridor revitalization and developed recommendations for community economic development programs. I administered a Minor Home Repair Program that produced over $100,000 in home repairs for seniors and persons with disabilities.

Wrote and administered community development grants.

I performed quarterly reserving analyses using complex financial models. I regularly developed financial reports for the CFO and other executive management to be used in developing company-wide business strategies. I earned "Exceeds Expectations" ratings at all performance reviews.
