With nearly a decade of experience spanning financial analysis, management, and healthcare consulting, I've honed a robust skill set in quantitative analysis and strategic decision-making. After graduating with a B.A. in Financial Economics from the University of Maine, I took on a pivotal support role at a Maine-based healthcare consulting firm. In this capacity, I collaborated with a diverse range of experts, including actuaries, economists, and healthcare policy analysts, gaining insight into the intricate interplay between finance and the complex healthcare landscape.Transitioning into corporate finance within the health and veterinary sectors, I progressively advanced to the role of Manager, Financial Planning & Analysis. Throughout this tenure, I excelled in financial modeling, variance analysis, budgeting, and data visualization, contributing significantly to organizational growth and profitability. As I progressed, my roles increasingly involved advanced reporting, including implementing automation solutions to streamline processes and providing insights with greater visibility to senior executives.Recognizing the vital role of innovation and armed with a solid financial background, I chose to pursue a Master's in Computer Science at Northeastern University. Courses in Software Engineering, Algorithms, Database Design, Cloud Computing and Design, Web Development, Mobile Application Development, and Human-Computer interaction have augmented my skill set, enriching my ability to integrate cutting-edge technologies with financial expertise and deepening my understanding of technology’s role in business and finance.Simultaneously, as a current board member on the Finance Committee at the University of Maine Alumni Association (UMAA) and Treasurer for the All Maine Women Alumni Affinity Group, I actively contribute to steering strategic direction and governance, fostering a strong commitment to advancing organizational growth and leadership initiatives. Looking ahead, my aspiration is to synergize my extensive financial analysis proficiency with added computer science skills to drive innovation and address complex challenges spanning diverse industries.
