What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values teamwork and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am an accomplished Supervisor in Accounts Payable with a proven track record of enhancing operational efficiency and team performance. Currently, I lead a team of specialists at Smurfit Westrock, where I provide weekly audit reporting for over 150 locations and oversee a payment reconciliation process of approximately $5 million weekly. My analytical skills have been instrumental in reducing recurring freight rejections, which has significantly lowered costs for the company.

Throughout my career, I have developed a deep understanding of various payment systems, including Cassport, Oracle, and JD Edwards, and I am proficient in Microsoft Excel, utilizing advanced functions to streamline processes. My leadership experience includes onboarding and training new team members, ensuring they are equipped to meet our high standards of performance. I thrive in collaborative environments and am dedicated to fostering a culture of teamwork and continuous improvement.
