What I'm looking for

I am seeking a finance or payroll role where I can apply my MBA, analytical skills, and cross-functional communication to improve processes, ensure compliance, and support accurate billing and payroll operations.

I am a finance and payroll professional with an MBA and hands-on experience across clinical trials finance, payroll operations, and higher-education finance functions. I have a track record of interpreting contracts and policies, preparing and reconciling complex invoices, resolving pay discrepancies, and serving as a liaison between departments and external sponsors to ensure compliance and accurate financial outcomes.

I combine analytical rigor with clear cross-functional communication, having supported transitions (including UCPath), created operational manuals and training, and applied data analysis to improve billing, reconciliation, and student account management. I am detail-oriented, process-driven, and committed to delivering accurate financial reporting and practical solutions.
