What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, values process improvement, and encourages collaboration.

I am a dedicated billing analyst with a strong background in process improvement and data analysis. Currently, I work at Atkinsreal, where I manage billing cycles, ensure compliance with financial standards, and enhance customer communication. My role involves generating reports and identifying trends to streamline processes and improve efficiency.

Previously, I served as a continuous improvement analyst at Morningstar, where I utilized Lean Six Sigma methodologies to enhance business processes and project management. My experience as a DFMEA moderator at Continental Automotive honed my skills in technical risk analysis and documentation, allowing me to contribute effectively to various automotive projects.

With a Master's degree in Engineering and Management of Competitiveness, I possess a solid foundation in quality control methodologies and project management. I am passionate about leveraging my analytical skills to drive improvements and deliver exceptional results in my work.
