What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead data-driven transformation, build BI solutions, partner with executives, and drive measurable program outcomes in collaborative teams.

I am a technology strategy and transformation professional with hands-on experience supporting large-scale ERP implementations, post-go-live stabilization, and enterprise reporting. I synthesize operational and financial data into executive-ready insights, build Power BI visualizations, and use Azure Data Factory and SQL to deliver actionable analysis that informs leadership decisions.

I have supported PMOs and executive sponsors with structured status reporting, risk analysis, and initiative prioritization, and contributed to firmwide AI innovation to improve analytical workflows. I was promoted to Senior Associate for consistent analytical impact and leadership contributions, and I bring a collaborative, problem-solving approach to drive measurable program outcomes.
