What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities where I can strengthen financial performance, improve processes, support project execution, and contribute analytical insights to strategic decision-making.

I'm currently a Financial Officer at KEPCO KPS, developing financial plans, forecasts, and budgets that guide strategic decisions.

I prepare financial reports, strengthen controls and compliance, assess financial risks, and evaluate project budgets alongside subcontractors.

Previously at Muma Investments, I moved from Project Coordinator to Process Engineer and spearheaded development of 95% of organizational processes. I drafted process maps and attribute tables, developed KPIs, and improved operational efficiency.

My background combines financial management, process design, quality management, and Lean Six Sigma methods. I bring analytical support to teams working to improve performance and deliver organizational goals.
