What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply financial modeling, FP&A, reporting, valuation, and AI evaluation experience in a role where I can improve forecasting, identify savings, and support strategic decisions.

At Catholic Charities Brooklyn and Queens, I develop budget-versus-actuals models for 14 programs, uncovering variances that improved financial accuracy by 20% and helping deliver more than $750K in annual savings.

I streamline financial reporting for Board and executive stakeholders, reducing report preparation time by 30%. Previously at MyLand Company, I built financial models and reporting packages that improved forecasting accuracy by 25% and identified over $2M in cost-saving opportunities.

At Mercor Intelligence, I evaluate 200+ finance prompts each month for AI model training, applying financial modeling, valuation, FP&A, and capital-markets knowledge with a 97% quality acceptance rate.

My background also includes equity-compensation reporting for Fortune 100 clients at Equity Methods, investment portfolio work, and DCF valuation research. I bring hands-on experience across financial modeling, SQL, SAS, Python, Tableau, Power BI, NetSuite, and advanced Excel.
