About

I am a dedicated accounting professional with extensive experience in financial reporting, audit preparation, and reconciliation across multiple industries. Currently serving as an Assistant Manager at Marriott International, I prepare financial statements, analyze general ledger activities, and collaborate with stakeholders to streamline reporting processes. My previous roles include Senior Accountant at Marriott and Staff Partnership Accountant at The Carlyle Group, where I honed my skills in financial analysis, compliance, and intercompany balance validations. I bring a strong understanding of US GAAP and Sarbanes-Oxley requirements, with proven success in managing audits and improving financial operations. I am well-versed in various accounting systems, including PeopleSoft and QuickBooks. I am also a CPA candidate, having passed the FAR exam and preparing for the AUD exam later this year.
