What I'm looking for

I seek a senior FP&A role where I can lead cross-functional teams, improve forecasting accuracy, build executive dashboards, and drive strategic, compliance-minded financial decisions.

I am a Principal Financial Analyst with 8+ years in FP&A and strategic finance, experienced in optimizing $90M+ annual program budgets through advanced financial modeling and real-time analytics.

I translate complex financial data into clear, actionable insights for executives and non-financial stakeholders, improving forecast accuracy and enabling data-driven decisions.

I have led and mentored teams, driving process improvements such as a 75% faster cost-estimation workflow and a 59% reduction in time-charging journal entries while maintaining high retention and promotions.

My experience includes federal contract compliance (GAAP, FAR, CAS), enterprise tools (Oracle Analytics Cloud, Hyperion, Dynamics 365), and data visualization (Power BI, Tableau), all applied to deliver succinct executive reporting and proactive financial risk management.
