What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values process improvement and team collaboration.

As an Accounts Payable Manager with over 15 years of experience, I have successfully overseen payment processing, vendor management, and process automation. My career has been defined by my ability to lead teams, manage high-volume transactions, and enhance efficiency through system integrations. I pride myself on my expertise in full-cycle accounts payable, check runs, and vendor reconciliation, which has allowed me to improve processes and provide exceptional customer service.

At the CDC Foundation, I supervised a team of Accounts Payable Specialists and managed biweekly payment runs while leading the automation of AP processes via NetSuite. My efforts in developing and implementing a secure vendor portal for over 6000 vendors exemplify my commitment to driving smooth transitions to updated systems. Previously, I served as an Implementation Project Manager for the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, where I led the transition to paperless transaction processing across 70+ tribal departments, ensuring enhanced efficiency and accuracy.
