What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role focused on high-volume payments, reconciliations, process improvement, and cross-functional collaboration where I can drive accuracy and operational efficiency.

I am an analytical finance professional with over four years of experience supporting high-volume payment operations, transaction analysis, and inventory management in fast-paced environments.

I have managed and reconciled more than $100 million in payments with 98% accuracy by identifying discrepancies, analyzing root causes, and strengthening controls.

I leverage advanced Excel tools including Pivot Tables and lookup functions to automate reconciliations, streamline workflows, and improve data accuracy and efficiency, and I routinely collaborate with vendors, clients, and cross-functional teams.

I also have leadership and training experience—having trained staff on POS systems and standardized processes—and I volunteer in community advocacy and nonprofit leadership roles where I lead workshops and manage events.
