What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role in investment operations/private markets where I can own investor lifecycle workflows, capital calls/distributions, and audit-ready documentation—partnering with stakeholders to improve reporting accuracy and streamline high-volume operations.

I’m an Investment Operations Specialist with 8 years of experience across Nuveen (TIAA) and Northern Trust. I manage investor lifecycle operations—capital calls & distributions, private markets operations, and fund documentation workflows—while keeping deliverables audit-ready in regulated environments.

I’ve built a track record of handling high-volume processing (850+ investor documents/day), leading workflow transitions (800+ tasks), and maintaining data accuracy through NAV uploads & reconciliation and investor portal administration (iCafe, Efront, Salesforce). I partner with fund accounting, compliance, client service, and data teams to resolve discrepancies quickly and improve operational processes.
