I improve operations, customer experience, financial processes, and risk response across fintech, retail, and client services.
What I'm looking for
I've improved operations, financial processes, and customer experiences across Northwestern University, Aon, Northern Trust, Wespath Benefits and Investments, and retail security environments.
At Northwestern University, I reduced operational expenses by 15%, automated accounting processes to cut manual entry by 50%, and improved credit card reconciliation accuracy while saving $50K annually. I also streamlined reporting turnaround by 40% and delivered training that improved team proficiency by 25%.
In my current loss prevention work at Oliver's Market, I monitor theft, fraud, and safety risks, document incidents, identify theft patterns, and use de-escalation to help maintain a safe, customer-focused environment.
