About

I’m a lateral thinker with a natural curiosity (quite literally - my name translates to that in English!) and a passion for problem-solving. I love breaking down complex financial challenges, connecting the dots across data, and turning insights into real impact. I thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments where I can streamline processes, optimize financial models, and drive strategic decision-making. Whether it’s leading cross-functional teams, implementing automation for efficiency, or simplifying chaos into clarity - I enjoy making things better! People around me say I’m social, entrepreneurial, and a go-getter, someone who finds structure in the mess and brings energy into a room. I love working with diverse teams, sparking ideas, and creating meaningful change through collaboration. Beyond work, you’ll find me playing with clay (pottery), swinging at golf balls (enthusiastic amateur!), or simply soaking up sunshine and flowers!
