My experience spans various roles in finance, where I have consistently demonstrated my ability to streamline processes and enhance operational efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed billing processes, reconciled accounts, and supported financial reporting in dynamic environments. My tenure at PwC Canada and Flinks has equipped me with the skills to handle high-stakes financial responsibilities while fostering strong relationships with clients and stakeholders. I am passionate about mentoring my team and driving their professional growth, ensuring that we collectively achieve our business goals.
