I am a doer and a dreamer who is led my intuition and creative vision. I am a determined and passionate leader who asks \"what can be\" vs. accepting simply what is. I bring my integrity and authenticity to everything I do.I enjoy helping companies create, establish and constantly improve their processes. Working collaboratively, I aim to support my business partners by helping them understand and plan their budgets, realign their forecasts, and stay on their spend. I find creative ways to control costs and bring more profit to the bottom line. Whether it\'s shortening the monthly close process, aligning cost center reporting, or analyzing monthly financial results, I bring 120% to the task, often going above and beyond my duties. I believe open and honest communication helps solidify good working relationships. As a mentor, I provide clear and actionable feedback and take great pride in helping others be their personal best. As a team member, I appreciate constructive feedback and always take the necessary steps to change, develop and grow. I\'m a life long learner and I welcome new challenges and opportunities.
