What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for professional growth, ideally in a collaborative and innovative environment.

With over 5 years of experience in project management and financial analysis, I thrive in fast-paced environments and excel at managing multiple projects. My background in finance and technology equips me with a strong understanding of project planning, team coordination, and risk management.

I'm passionate about driving successful project execution and improving workflows. My proactive approach and strong communication skills ensure effective collaboration across teams, making me a great fit for dynamic and innovative assignments. At Hercules Capital, I provided analytical support for private fund performance forecasts and maintained positive relationships with finance leadership to ensure smooth project execution.

During my tenure at BlackRock, I led team-wide projects, including financial modeling and automated reporting solutions. I managed the firm’s profitability model operations and served on an internal selection board for financial technology, showcasing my ability to enhance efficiencies and reduce risk through innovative processes.
