What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior finance role where I can own capex/opex and FP&A, automate reporting with SQL/Python, partner cross-functionally, and drive measurable cost savings with disciplined governance.

I’m a Senior Financial Operations Analyst focused on turning complex capex/opex and project finance into clear, accountable decisions. At Northwell Health, I served as the financial lead on a $32M EPIC EHR implementation across two hospital systems, owning capital expenditure tracking, cost reporting, and budget oversight across multiple cost centers while partnering closely with project leadership and VPs.

I consistently deliver measurable savings and reporting efficiency: I generated $2.3M in contractor labor savings, built a contractor spend tracking framework used for monthly VP-level accountability, and corrected hundreds of thousands of dollars in miscoded expenses to protect GL accuracy and compliance across a $44M portfolio. Earlier at Nestlé Health Science, I led analysis for a $1.5M cost-saving initiative, improved inventory controls through a cycle count system delivering $300K in quarterly savings, and cut month-end reporting time by 50% by standardizing SOPs and automating reconciliations with SQL and Python—skills I now bring to finance teams at scale.
