What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply grant and financial accounting expertise to improve controls, drive accurate forecasting, support compliance, and collaborate across teams for operational impact.

I am a detail-oriented financial professional with extensive experience in financial analysis, reporting, accounting, and compliance, having supported corporate and higher-education organizations with budgeting, forecasts, reconciliations, and audit preparation. I have led grant accounting and post-award compliance, managed accounts payable/receivable, payroll, fixed assets, and CRM/data governance across roles in government-funded education and corporate contracting.

My background includes developing resource forecasts and EACs, conducting variance analyses and cost/schedule performance assessments, and implementing process improvements that increase operational efficiency. I hold an MBA, am pursuing a Doctorate in Business Administration, and maintain certifications in governmental accounting and systems implementation, which support my ability to ensure regulatory compliance and strengthen financial controls.
