What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my financial expertise while fostering a collaborative and innovative work environment.

I am a results-oriented professional with extensive experience in strategic planning, financial management, and operational oversight. As the Chief Financial Officer and Safety Director at Perryton Independent School District, I oversee all financial and business affairs, ensuring compliance with GAAP, TEA, and EDGAR standards. My role involves providing leadership and management for financial services, directing district funds management, and serving as the chief financial advisor to the Superintendent and Board of Trustees.

Previously, I served as the Treasurer and Chief Investment Officer for Ochiltree County, where I managed all county funds and handled various aspects of human resources and risk management. My career also includes significant roles in procurement and compliance at Ochiltree General Hospital and Bell Helicopter Textron, where I supported supply chain operations and ensured compliance with federal requirements. I am committed to fostering a positive work environment and achieving organizational goals through strong leadership and effective communication.
