What I'm looking for

I am seeking a challenging role that fosters growth and values teamwork.

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented Senior Accountant with a strong background in financial analysis and operational efficiency. With a Master of Business Administration and a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from La Salle University, I have honed my skills in accounting and finance, achieving a GPA of 3.7 and earning recognition on the Dean's List.

In my current role at Morey’s Piers and Resorts, I have successfully developed and implemented streamlined processes that enhance team productivity and operational efficiency. I led the annual budgeting process, improving forecasting accuracy through the implementation of new budgeting software. My proficiency in advanced Excel functions allows me to support accurate month-end close processes and provide detailed variance analyses that aid management in financial planning.

Previously, as an Audit Associate at KPMG, I played a key role in leading financial statement audits, ensuring compliance with GAAP, and testing internal controls. My experience as an intern with the Philadelphia Eagles and other organizations has further solidified my ability to manage financial tasks efficiently and effectively.
