About

I’m a finance professional who enjoys making sense of numbers and using them to tell a story that drives better decisions. Right now, I work as a Finance Associate in a fintech company, where I manage payments, vendor processes, reconciliations, and monthly reporting. Beyond the day-to-day operations, what really interests me is understanding the “why” behind the figures, spotting patterns, finding ways to do things better, and helping teams make informed financial choices. I’m currently building my path toward roles in FP&A and Finance Business Partnering. I want to move from just reporting numbers to influencing business strategy, providing insights that help shape plans, budgets, and growth outcomes. Colleagues describe me as reliable, detail-oriented, and collaborative. I enjoy bringing structure to financial processes, solving small inefficiencies, and working with cross-functional teams to make finance more transparent and efficient. Let’s connect to discuss opportunities and insights in the financial sector.
