About

Professional summary

I am an operations, finance, and compliance professional with more than 18 years of experience across accounting, internal audit, executive support, and business operations. I help leaders make informed decisions through reporting, dashboards, process oversight, and cross-functional coordination.

I build efficient operational systems, standardize workflows, and create automation frameworks that improve productivity, governance, and business performance. My experience includes developing procedures, quality assurance processes, and reporting systems for operations, finance, recruiting, customer relationships, and time tracking.

I have strong finance and accounting expertise, including general ledger management, reconciliations, invoicing, collections, supplier payments, budgeting, forecasting, cost control, and audit support. I also bring extensive internal audit experience, including audit planning, working-paper review, reporting, compliance monitoring, and team supervision.

I support executives through calendar management, sensitive communications, presentation preparation, project coordination, and data-driven insights. I am comfortable managing priorities, resolving scheduling conflicts, and collaborating with stakeholders across multiple business functions.

I use Power BI, Power Query, Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, SAP, Oracle, QuickBooks Online, HubSpot, Notion, Trello, and AI tools to support reporting, automation, operations, and business growth. I also have experience in marketing support, social media management, copywriting, product research, supplier sourcing, transcription, and web and graphic design.
