What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values strong client relationships and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a motivated and detail-oriented professional with over 15 years of experience in credit analysis and auditing. My career has been marked by a commitment to excellence and a proven track record in managing accounts, resolving discrepancies, and enhancing financial processes. I thrive in challenging environments and am adept at building strong relationships with clients and colleagues alike.

Currently, I serve as a Credit Analyst at Jones Carter, where I have successfully established the company's collections role, managing over 450 accounts and collecting up to $40 million. My ability to perform risk analysis and communicate effectively with project managers has been instrumental in maintaining client satisfaction and ensuring timely collections. I take pride in my contributions to the team, including developing a comprehensive collections training manual and preparing detailed monthly reports.

Throughout my career, I have held various positions that have honed my skills in collections, account management, and compliance. My experience with companies like General Electric and the US Department of Treasury has equipped me with the knowledge to navigate complex financial landscapes while achieving outstanding results. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to drive success in future roles.
