What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic organization where I can leverage my technical and analytical skills in a Business Analyst or Project Management role, focusing on process improvement and team collaboration.

I am a results-driven business systems specialist with over 12 years of progressive experience in the financial services sector. My expertise lies in process automation, cross-functional project management, and technology integration. I have a proven track record of optimizing business operations, leading system implementations, and delivering outstanding customer and stakeholder experiences.

In my current role as a System Specialist, I manage and maintain core business applications, ensuring high system availability and compliance with security protocols. I lead pre- and post-release testing for new features, collaborating with IT and Business Intelligence teams to integrate automation tools that streamline analytics. My focus on designing and automating workflows has significantly reduced manual processing time and improved operational efficiency.

Previously, I served as a Project Manager Specialist, where I acted as the primary liaison between stakeholders and cross-functional teams in an Agile environment. I authored Business Requirement Documents and conducted both manual and automated testing to enhance user experience. My commitment to training and onboarding new team members has fostered a collaborative work environment, ultimately driving project success.
