I am a finance professional with a Master of Business Administration, specializing in financial analysis, budgeting, and account reconciliation. My experience includes internships at reputable firms where I processed journal entries, managed payroll reconciliation, and ensured compliance with accounting standards. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am committed to delivering high-quality results that align with organizational goals.

Throughout my academic and professional journey, I have developed a strong foundation in financial reporting and analysis. I have successfully collaborated with teams to prepare budget forecasts, conduct variance analyses, and streamline financial processes. My proactive approach allows me to provide actionable insights that drive financial decision-making and support business growth.

I am actively seeking to leverage my knowledge and expertise in an Accounting or Finance role, where I can contribute to organizational success and continue to grow professionally. I am passionate about utilizing advanced accounting software and financial tools to optimize performance and ensure accurate financial documentation.
