I have a strong foundation in accounting and financial operations, complemented by hands-on experience using data analysis tools such as Excel and Power BI for performance tracking and strategic decision-making.

Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my ability to collaborate across functions, enhance operational efficiency, and drive continuous improvements in financial systems. My role as an Audit Associate at KPMG involves executing end-to-end audit procedures, assessing internal controls, and providing management with actionable insights for improved performance.
