Summary
A solutionist at heart, with 6+ years of experience in Accounting and Finance, helping businesses run smoother. I enjoy taking messy processes, breaking them down, and automating them to save time and make life easier for everyone. I always think about smarter ways to solve problems and support business growth.
Over the past 3 years at a startup, I’ve handled everything from setting up the company to managing finance, leading hiring, and backing up teams across Operations, Customer Experience, Marketing, Tech, and Product at a group level. These days, my focus is back on my core strength-Accounting and Finance-tackling tough challenges and helping scale the business to its next stage.
