What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, values collaboration, and utilizes my analytical skills.

I am a dedicated finance professional with a strong foundation in accounting and over 9 years of experience in financial operations. My career has been marked by a proven track record in managing high-volume transactions, ensuring accuracy in financial reporting, and supporting audits. I have developed supervisory skills while leading a team of 60 regional accountants, driving departmental objectives and fostering a collaborative work environment.

My recent academic pursuit of an MSc in Business Analytics and Finance has equipped me with advanced skills in data visualization, forecasting, and corporate finance. During my internship as a Data Analyst at OK Positive, I utilized Power BI and Excel to conduct thematic analyses and provide actionable insights for content strategy improvements. I am passionate about leveraging my analytical skills to enhance financial processes and support organizational growth.
