What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead FP&A, build driver-based models, and partner closely with operations—turning forecasting and cost analytics into executive decisions that improve margin and optimize working capital.

I’m a Strategic Financial Analyst with progressive experience in Corporate Finance and Operations FP&A, owning forecasting, cost analytics, and performance reporting for large-scale operations (+500M). I combine advanced financial modeling, data analytics, and business partnering to deliver measurable impact on operational efficiency.

At Aristocrat Gaming, I provide financial and business management leadership to Business Directors through accurate, timely forecasting and risk analysis. I build scenario and sensitivity models in Excel and Power BI that improved budget accuracy by 30% and helped uncover $1M in annual cost savings opportunities.

I also own monthly forecast updates and variance analysis, translating complex financial data into executive-level insights that support cost optimization and growth strategy. I lead monthly performance reviews and variance deep dives to improve visibility into risks, opportunities, and corrective actions.

Previously at Treasure Island & Circus Circus Hotel & Casino, I prepared monthly reporting packages for board distribution and delivered board meeting presentations on annual budgets and financial results. Earlier experience in the United States Navy strengthened my ability to perform under strict deadlines and high-risk conditions while leading teams and maintaining operational readiness.
