What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my finance and data analysis skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on strategic decision-making and continuous improvement.

I am a finance and data analysis professional with over seven years of experience in financial reporting, budgeting, and P&L management. My expertise lies in leveraging data-driven insights and statistical analysis to optimize financial performance and support strategic decision-making. I have a proven track record of managing multi-million-dollar budgets and enhancing financial controls, which has led to significant operational cost reductions and improved audit outcomes.

Currently, I serve as the Head of Finance at Botanical Extracts EPZ Ltd, where I develop and execute financial strategies, lead budgeting and forecasting efforts, and deliver high-impact financial presentations to stakeholders. My analytical skills have enabled me to secure a $1.8M funding facility and streamline cash flow management. I am adept at engaging with various stakeholders to ensure compliance and governance while preparing board papers that facilitate strategic decision-making.

With a Master of Science in Data Science and a Bachelor of Science in Actuarial Science, I am committed to continuous learning and professional growth. I thrive in dynamic environments and am passionate about using data to drive business success.
