Message

At Service Center Metals, I manage budgets across active projects, review costs, and analyze variances to identify financial trends and cost savings.

I audit project financial data, reconcile accounts, and resolve discrepancies. I also prepare cost reports and performance metrics to support leadership decision-making.

At Monument Health, I developed Excel-based reports and dashboards to track budgets, KPIs, and project performance. I improved reporting processes by improving data quality, reducing manual effort, and increasing accuracy.

Earlier, I conducted audits at Bowlmor and coordinated vendor contract activities at Owens and Minor. I hold a Data Analytics Certificate from University of Richmond and a Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) certification, and I’m currently learning Deltek.
