Bilingual project controls and accounts receivable specialist driving compliance, forecasting, and process improvements.
What I'm looking for
I am a versatile, results-oriented professional with over two decades of experience in project controls, quality systems, and federally funded program administration. I bring proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and optimize schedules and budgets to meet strategic goals.
My recent role as a Project Controls Specialist focuses on schedule and cost control, compliance with federal and local regulations, and accounts receivable operations including invoicing, reconciliation, and aging analysis. I leverage tools such as Microsoft Excel, SharePoint, QuickBase, Vantagepoint and accounting systems to produce actionable reports and accurate forecasts.
Previously, I spent a decade at Medtronic supporting quality operations, root cause investigations, validations (TMV, IQ), PFMEA, and risk mitigation efforts, while also tracking project timelines and budgets. I have supervised production teams, managed daily manufacturing operations, and implemented process improvements that enhanced reliability and safety.
Fully bilingual in English and Spanish with a Bachelor of Science in Networks and Telecommunications, I combine technical proficiency (Power BI, Microsoft Office) with critical thinking and a continuous improvement mindset to support compliance-driven, data-informed decision making.
