I work daily to provide seamless back-office operations to ensure my client's are
positioned for tomorrow. I pride myself on shielding the CEO from the stress of
managing day-to-day operations so that he/she may focus solely on growing the
business and exceeding their customers' expectations. By creating a solid
foundation, my clients are prepared for any and all potential corporate directional
changes. I also provide a keen talent for identifying market opportunities, ensuring
corporate compliance, and overseeing P&L management across multiple sectors.

synthesize and present complex solutions to strategic financial decisions.
