What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters growth and values financial accuracy.

I am an experienced Accounts Payable Specialist with a strong background in vendor management and financial operations. Over the years, I have honed my skills in invoice processing, reconciliation, and vendor inquiries, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in all financial transactions. My recent role at SolomonEdwardsGroup involved managing vendor relations and implementing special projects that enhanced operational workflows.

Throughout my career, I have worked with various organizations, including PWC and Pennymac Loan Services, where I utilized three-way matching to streamline invoice processing and resolved discrepancies effectively. My educational background, with a Master’s degree in International Business, complements my practical experience, allowing me to approach challenges with a global perspective and strategic mindset.

I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to a dynamic team and drive financial excellence. I thrive in environments that value collaboration and innovation, and I am eager to take on new challenges that will further my professional growth.
