About

I am an Application Specialist who helps bridge customer needs, business processes, and development teams. With a background in software development, system use, usability, testing, financial administration, accounting support tasks, and over 13 years in the property management industry, I bring a combination of technical understanding, business insight, and hands-on problem-solving. I thrive in roles where I can turn user and business needs into practical solutions, improve processes, and support effective collaboration between users and technical teams. My experience includes invoice processing, invoicing, ledger-related tasks, reconciliations, issue resolution, technical support, documentation, and project coordination. I am analytical, proactive, and detail-oriented, and I enjoy making systems, processes, and ways of working clearer and more efficient. I am especially interested in roles where I can improve user experience, support business goals, and use technology, including AI tools, in a practical and meaningful way.
