What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead finance automation and process reengineering, translate business needs into system-ready requirements, and improve governance, controls, and reporting accuracy in high-volume lending operations.

I’m a Lead Financial Analyst with 4+ years of experience driving finance process improvement and technology-enabled transformation across complex financial operations. At Wells Fargo, I assess workflows and business requirements, align system capabilities (LOAN IQ, AFS) with operational needs, and translate complex requirements into actionable, technology-enabled solutions.

I lead end-to-end automation and control enhancements across payoff and disbursement workflows, delivering measurable efficiency gains and reduced exceptions. I build KPIs, conduct root-cause analysis to strengthen controls, maintain 99.8% quality accuracy in high-volume processing, and support AML/Travel Rule compliance through structured analysis, Agile/Jira delivery, and UAT-ready functional design.
