What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and values safety.

As an accomplished AP Manager with extensive experience in loss prevention and security, I have successfully managed teams and implemented strategies that significantly reduce theft and fraud. My career began at Bank of America, where I honed my skills in fraud detection, monitoring credit card accounts, and providing exceptional customer service. Over the years, I transitioned to Target, where I played a pivotal role in initiating and supporting investigations across multiple stores, driving a positive culture, and collaborating with law enforcement to enhance safety.

In my most recent role as Office Manager at Bridging the Gap, I have supported a team of drivers, ensuring safe transportation for displaced children while maintaining communication with various stakeholders. My ability to multitask and manage diverse responsibilities has been crucial in delivering high-quality service. I am passionate about fostering a safe environment and am eager to bring my expertise in management and loss prevention to a new opportunity that offers growth and development.
