About

Professional summary

I am a detail-oriented financial operations professional with over 15 years of experience in loan lifecycle management, commercial operations, and cash reconciliation.

I have built my career around post-closing processes, loan delivery, and ensuring compliance with investor guidelines and internal standards. My work has focused on high-volume, high-accuracy environments where precision and accountability are essential.

I have extensive experience reviewing complex loan documents, resolving suspense items, and supporting syndicated and bilateral lending activities. I am comfortable working across the full operational lifecycle, from closing and funding through reconciliation and reporting.

I have also contributed to process improvements, vendor coordination, and cross-functional collaboration with relationship managers, underwriters, credit teams, and legal partners. I enjoy solving operational issues and improving workflows that support business efficiency.

My background includes experience with financial systems and tools such as Loan IQ, ACBS, RiskVision, SafeCash, Excel, and Microsoft Office Suite. I am particularly strong in analysis, compliance, reporting, and operational control.

I am seeking opportunities where I can apply my financial operations expertise, analytical mindset, and commitment to accuracy in a senior-level role within banking, lending, or financial services.
