About

I've always been fascinated by the intersection of people, strategy, and data. My career journey through acting, marketing and sales, consulting, and financial analysis has given me a unique perspective on how organizations make decisions and create value. Today, I work at the intersection of finance, analytics, and strategy, helping leaders evaluate opportunities, optimize profitability, and make data-driven decisions. My experience includes strategic pricing, financial modeling, forecasting, business intelligence, and process automation, with a particular interest in leveraging AI and emerging technologies to improve workflows and enhance decision support. What sets me apart is my ability to combine analytical rigor with strong communication and relationship-building skills. Whether developing financial models, evaluating investment opportunities, presenting insights to stakeholders, or collaborating across teams, I focus on translating complexity into clarity and helping organizations move from information to action.
