What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a finance and operations leadership role where I can guide budgeting, reporting, vendor relationships, and business operations while partnering closely with organizational leadership.

At a Catholic High School, I oversee the financial health and daily business operations of a school with an approximately $8 million annual budget. I partner with school leadership on strategic planning, budgeting, reporting, financial aid, payroll, cash management, transportation, and vendor contracts.

My background also includes executive administration, sales support leadership, accounting, customer service, recruiting, and project coordination at Square Roots Collective, W.L. Gore & Associates, Strategic Workforce Solutions, and Pershing LLC.
