What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, supports educational initiatives, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am an experienced finance and operations professional with over 7 years of dedicated service in Crowley ISD. My journey includes 4 years in clerical roles and currently interning in the district’s Finance Department. I hold a Master of Business Administration with a concentration in Finance, complemented by over 10 years of prior leadership and general management experience.

My expertise lies in budgeting, payroll processing, financial reporting, and operational oversight. I am proficient in Skyward and Frontline systems and committed to supporting educational goals through sound fiscal management and collaborative leadership. My role as a Finance Department Intern has allowed me to understand district budgeting and financial reporting activities while ensuring compliance with TEA and GASB standards.
