Strategic business advisor helping SMBs secure funding and optimize operations through finance modeling and capital planning.
What I'm looking for
I’m a strategic business advisor and funding specialist focused on driving growth through capital optimization, investment planning, and corporate financing solutions across diverse industries. I bring expertise in financial modeling, portfolio evaluation, business restructuring, and stakeholder engagement to improve profitability and market positioning.
Since 2022, I’ve worked as an independent consultant, maximizing capital access and improving cash flow for small and medium-sized enterprises. I develop funding plans using detailed financial forecasting and analysis, conduct market research, and structure repayment strategies to optimize working capital and increase loan acquisition success.
Earlier roles strengthened my operational execution and compliance mindset. As a Loan Acquisition Office Assistant, I supported daily operations, ensured timely documentation and court filing compliance, managed records, and coordinated client communications to deliver consistent service and reduce processing errors.
I also combine analytical strength with hands-on logistics experience from professional trucking, where I maintained DOT compliance, optimized route efficiency, coordinated deliveries, and ensured cargo integrity. Together, these experiences help me align finance strategy with reliable execution—so clients can scale with confidence.
