What I'm looking for

I seek a role that offers growth opportunities and challenges in financial analysis.

I am a dedicated finance specialist with a strong background in public accounting and financial analysis. My journey began at Universidad Católica Andrés Bello, where I earned my Bachelor's degree in Public Accounting, achieving a GPA of 3.00. I have also successfully passed CFA Level I, which has further solidified my understanding of financial principles.

Currently, I work at Corporation JSL, where I prepare cost structures for manufactured and imported products. My analytical skills have led to significant cost reductions of up to 15%. Previously, I served as an Assurance Assistant at Ernst & Young, where I performed audits across various industries and ranked in the top 5% of my peers. My experience spans multiple countries, allowing me to develop a global perspective on finance.
