The past decade I have spent building myself and my skillsets. I genuinely value self-education and experience. I have been intentional in my approach to working in various roles in different industries. The journey has allowed me to make an impact in my way. The variance analysis in my first role helped me identify fraud, saving my company $10K. It is not a lot, but I am proud of it. The second job's process improvement and prioritization exercise helped reduce the month-end close timeline by fifty percent. My third job taught me to collaborate and leverage our technology partners to make work efficient. My current job led me to evolve, learn complex things quickly and deliver. I stand at the crossroads of Finance and Product and enjoy what the two verticals can build together. I am happy to have a chat with you if my profile intrigues interest..
