What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a financial, compensation, or revenue operations role where I can improve reporting, validate complex data, build decision-ready dashboards, and partner across Finance, Sales, HR, and leadership.

I'm currently supporting Revenue Operations at Arrive, where I validate commission payouts, manage compensation workflows, and maintain reporting for approximately 150 sales representatives.

At Comcast, I modeled salary budgets and incentive plans, forecasted and reconciled compensation spend, and presented monthly performance insights for two business channels to senior leadership.

At MARTA, I built executive dashboards and Power BI reporting for more than 140 capital projects, supporting capital budgeting, ten-year planning, expenditure analysis, and Board reporting.

Earlier, I led billing and accounts receivable teams at Medidata, Brinks Global Services, and MTA Business Service Center. I've reduced billing errors by 30%, cut analyst onboarding time from two weeks to one week, and helped automate contract-review processes.
