I am a meticulous professional with a strong background in accounting and finance, possessing advanced expertise in Excel and financial management. My experience spans various roles, including my current position as a Senior Investigator Payments Analyst at IQVIA, where I excel in managing sponsor payments and ensuring compliance with financial recordkeeping.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to collaborate effectively with teams and stakeholders, streamline processes, and resolve discrepancies. My previous roles have equipped me with a robust skill set in bank reconciliation, invoice management, and financial reporting, allowing me to contribute significantly to organizational success.

I am committed to maintaining accurate financial records and improving operational efficiency. My educational background, including a BBA in Finance/Accounting and an anticipated MBA, further enhances my capability to deliver results in the finance sector.
