## About

```text
At United Risk, I lead an 11-person premium accounting function supporting a $1B+ annual premium portfolio. I designed a process that identified and allocated $15M+ in previously unidentified cash, and authored the department’s first end-to-end accounting policy and procedure framework.

At Brighthouse Financial, I re-engineered the month-end close, cutting cycle time 10%, and helped reduce manual reporting effort 30%. Earlier at JPMorgan Chase & Co., I managed teams preparing financial and regulatory reports, automated key processes, and supported audit work that achieved zero major SOX findings.
