Suffolk County, Massachusetts, United States
Seasoned finance professional with over 15 years of experience driving financial reporting, strategic planning, and operational efficiency across global organizations. I’ve built a career at the intersection of accounting precision and business partnership—delivering insights that shape decision-making and optimize performance. Currently serving as a Senior Financial Analyst at GBH, I oversee multi-million-dollar grant portfolios, lead cross-functional budgeting efforts, and enhance reporting transparency through tailored Workday solutions. Previously, as Vice President at Wellington Management, I directed financial governance across HR systems, led enterprise-wide reporting initiatives, and partnered with leadership to align technology roadmaps with financial planning cycles. My foundation in accounting was forged through roles at Massachusetts Financial Services, Sun Life Financial, and Ernst & Young, where I managed international close processes, prepared GAAP/IFRS-compliant statements, and supported high-profile audits. I’ve consistently delivered value through automation, data integrity, and cross-border collaboration—whether calculating commission accruals, leading compensation accounting, or advising on regulatory compliance. With a Master of Accountancy from the Isenberg School of Business and a BA in Economics from Holy Cross, I bring both technical depth and strategic perspective. I thrive in environments where finance is a driver of innovation, and where data-backed decisions fuel growth and accountability.
