Experienced professional in regulatory compliance and financial analysis.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced professional with over 13 years in regulatory compliance, financial analysis, and team leadership across U.S. government and private sector organizations. My proven ability to gather and analyze data, manage risk, streamline reporting, and drive cross-functional initiatives has been instrumental in my career. I am adept at navigating complex regulatory frameworks and partnering with legal, HR, and executive stakeholders to achieve strategic goals.
In my recent role as Contract Installation Manager for the US Army Transition Assistance Program in South Korea, I conducted data integrity reviews and compliance checks, ensuring adherence to DOD regulations. I led reporting for key metrics and drove operational improvements through professional training programs in compliance best practices. Previously, as Chief of the Decision Support Branch at US Army MEDDAC-K, I directed financial and manpower analytics for over 1,700 staff, advising senior leaders and developing business case analyses that streamlined audits and decision-making.
My career began at BNP Paribas, where I progressed from an intern to Assistant Vice President, analyzing over $450M in P&L data and advising on financial performance and cost optimization. I have a strong foundation in financial planning and analysis, and I am committed to fostering team performance and enhancing organizational efficiency.
