What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a hands-on accounting role to lead AP and month-end improvements, drive ERP implementations, ensure SOX compliance, and mentor teams in a collaborative, process-focused organization.

I’m a determined and self-motivated accounting professional with more than 10 years’ accounting experience working for both large and start-up organizations, focused on Accounts Payable, General Ledger and month-end close.

At BioAtla I oversaw and managed the entire AP and Procure to Pay processes, managed and mentored senior staff, and supported efforts that reduced the month-end close timeline from 10+ days to 5 days while maintaining SOX compliance.

Previously at Avidity Biosciences I played a pivotal role in ERP implementations, including leading the Concur invoice and expense rollout and supporting Microsoft Dynamics 365 finance and operations implementation, in addition to performing full-cycle AP and GL duties.

Earlier roles strengthened my treasury, AR, and reporting skills and I delivered measurable process improvements—creating a treasury database that reduced search time by 35% and written procedures that decreased errors and setup time by 90%. I hold a Masters in Accounting and Financial Management and a BA in Business Management Economics with an Accounting emphasis.
