What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role where I can lead budgeting, forecasting and financial controls, apply analytics to drive decisions, mentor teams, and contribute to growth in a collaborative, process-driven organization.

My strong analytical skills and effective collaboration enables me to quickly build complex financial models and standardize high-volume reporting across extensive networks. I thrive on transforming data into Actionable Insights. I leverage advanced Data Analysis and Visualization skills, including MS Power BI (DAX), to convey financial concepts to non-financial stakeholders. I am actively upskilling in SQL and R to fully combine proven financial leadership with modern data science, driving strategic decision-making in a remote capacity.
