What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my analytical skills in a dynamic environment, with opportunities for professional growth and a strong emphasis on client satisfaction.

I am a dedicated professional with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of North Texas. With over eight years of experience in the auto finance industry, I have honed my skills in credit analysis, auditing, and customer service. My journey began as a Funding Specialist at GM Financial, where I ensured compliance with state and federal laws while building strong relationships with dealers and clients.

As an Audit Analyst at AutoNation, I developed a keen eye for detail, critically evaluating information accuracy and identifying irregular transactions. My role as a Credit Specialist at Santander Consumer USA allowed me to leverage my analytical skills to negotiate profitable structures with dealers, consistently achieving top performance metrics. I pride myself on my ability to prioritize client interests and resolve issues effectively, making me a valuable asset in any team.
