What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned Director with over 15 years of experience in financial planning and analysis. My career has been marked by a proactive approach to leadership, decision-making, and goal-setting, ensuring optimal organizational financial health through data-driven strategies. I pride myself on my business acumen, people skills, and technical knowledge, which allow me to maintain a strategic mindset and accomplish organizational goals effectively.
Currently, I serve as the VP of FP&A at Innovation Refunds, where I lead financial analysis, modeling, and reporting. My role involves streamlining financial operations and providing insights that drive business decisions. I also have experience as an Adjunct Professor, specializing in Healthcare Administration courses, where I develop course materials and deliver an optimal online learning experience for students.
Throughout my career, I have held various positions, including Financial Data and Analysis Manager and FP&A Manager, where I implemented in-house FP&A functions and managed significant budgets. My ability to partner with non-financial business managers and engage in strategic discussions has been crucial in driving financial process efficiencies and aligning financial strategies with overall business goals.
