What I'm looking for

I seek a role leveraging federal financial management and investigative ambitions—supportive team culture, clear advancement, mission-driven work, and opportunities to apply finance, audit, and bilingual customer engagement skills.

I am an Air Force financial analyst with hands-on federal finance experience, a TS/SCI clearance, and a BA in Criminology. I have overseen and balanced large payment and voucher portfolios (e.g., balanced $326k, oversaw $193k collections), led trainings on accounting reporting, GPC procedures, and funds control, and helped posture a squadron for fiscal year closeout contributing to FM AFGSC Team OTY.

I am bilingual in Spanish, experienced in customer-facing roles across military and civilian settings, and proven in leadership roles from Honor Guard events to directing 25 first-term Airmen. I bring reliable initiative, adaptability under pressure, strong communication skills, and a drive to transition into federal criminal investigative work and continued public service.
