What I'm looking for

I am seeking a growth-oriented company that values professional development and offers opportunities for advancement.

I am a dedicated Business Owner and Operations Specialist with a strong background in financial analysis and customer care. My experience spans various roles, including my current position at Hilltop Securities Inc., where I identify operational inefficiencies and support management in coordinating projects. I thrive in dynamic environments and am committed to driving efficiency and reducing expenses.

As the owner of GTO Crafts LLC, I have honed my skills in creating business plans, developing marketing strategies, and managing daily operations. My educational background in Finance from the University of Texas at Arlington has equipped me with the knowledge to navigate complex financial landscapes and regulations. I am passionate about fostering growth and am always looking for opportunities to enhance my professional development.
