Hi there! I’m a finance, accounting, and business operations professional with a passion for helping companies make sense of their numbers and turn data into smart, actionable decisions. A seasoned CPA with a background in accounting, financial modeling, and operational reporting — and over 10 years of experience — I help businesses understand where their money is going and how to manage it more effectively. Beyond finance, I bring strong analytical and product management experience — meaning I not only work with numbers, but also help design better processes, reporting tools, and decision-making frameworks that actually make day-to-day work easier. I love simplifying complex problems, building clear, intuitive models, and supporting projects that improve profitability and business strategy. In addition to my finance work, I also support projects in the AI space — specifically around AI response evaluation, where I apply my analytical skills to assess and improve the quality, accuracy, and clarity of AI-generated content. This includes reviewing model outputs for alignment, relevance, tone, and factual integrity. If you’re looking for someone who’s detail-oriented, easy to work with, and genuinely invested in adding value to your business — I’d be excited to connect!
