What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters collaboration, encourages strategic thinking, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a resourceful and solution-oriented professional with over 8 years of experience in financial planning and analysis. My expertise lies in conducting thorough financial assessments that support organizational objectives and ensure financial integrity in fast-paced environments. I excel at distilling complex financial data into actionable insights, enabling executive decision-making and driving strategic initiatives.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to enhance reporting workflows and achieve significant improvements in forecasting accuracy. At Illumina, I increased forecasting accuracy by 25% and spearheaded an automated reporting process that reduced financial close times by 30%. My collaborative approach has allowed me to work effectively with senior leadership to refine financial strategies and optimize spending, ultimately contributing to a 15% reduction in operational expenses.
