San Francisco, California, United States
I’m currently at Twelve Labs, bringing my accounting expertise to the forefront of AI innovation. A CPA based in San Francisco, I’ve built my career on precision, process, and strategic thinking. I started at EY, where I advanced quickly and honed my technical foundation in financial reporting and audit. At Vida Health, I led the accounting function through key growth stages—streamlining close processes, improving reporting accuracy, and collaborating across teams to build scalable systems. Now at Twelve Labs, I’m excited to help shape the finance and accounting operations at a fast-moving Series A startup. I thrive in designing efficient processes, and hopefully, bring a sharp lens to financial storytelling. Outside the numbers? You’ll find me at a neighborhood café, or curating my next hosting event at home.
