What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that values operational excellence and offers growth opportunities.

I am an accomplished accounting professional with extensive experience in operations and financial management. Currently, I serve as the AP Operations Supervisor and Accounting Specialist at the US Space and Rocket Center, where I oversee accounts payable and receivable, manage bank reconciliations, and generate monthly financial reports. My role requires a keen attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy, ensuring that all financial transactions are processed efficiently.

Previously, I held various positions at Diatherix Laboratories, where I managed a large billing staff and was responsible for billing software maintenance and compliance reporting. My ability to lead teams and streamline processes has consistently resulted in improved productivity and operational efficiency. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to organizational success and enhance financial operations.
