About

Finance leader with 15+ years of experience strengthening financial reporting, leading month-end close, and supporting budgeting and forecasting processes. I’ve worked across not-for-profit, education, and complex multi-stakeholder environments, with a focus on building systems and processes that make work more efficient and accessible for the people who rely on them. I’ve enhanced internal controls, streamlined workflows, and implemented automation to reduce manual effort and improve the accuracy and usability of financial information. My experience spans systems including Business Central, QuickBooks, SAP, NetSuite, Power BI, and advanced Excel—always with an emphasis on using technology to support people, not complicate their work.
