About

Data driven Accountant with both Public and Industry experience. I am a highly motivated, hard-working individual who enjoys tackling new challenges and works well under pressure. I enjoy collaborating in a team environment and sharing new ideas, but I am also a self-motivated individual who is able to own a project from start to finish. Throughout my career, I've utilized technology to drive efficiencies and process improvements. I'm now focused on finding impactful ways to implement Big Data into the decision making process.
