I’m a strategic, data‑driven Business Analyst and AVP with a strong track record of improving operational efficiency, standardizing processes, and driving clarity across complex organizations. I specialize in turning ambiguity into structure—building scalable frameworks, reporting systems, and cross‑functional operating models that accelerate delivery and reduce friction for teams.A core strength of my work is building strong, trust‑driven relationships across business lines, developers, SMEs, and executives. I believe great outcomes come from alignment, open communication, and the ability to influence without authority. I’m intentional about creating partnerships that make collaboration easier, decisions faster, and delivery more predictable.My experience spans analytics, project leadership, and financial strategy. At U.S. Bank, I led enterprise testing and requirements‑driven initiatives supporting 24+ business lines, orchestrated thousands of test scenarios, and delivered executive‑ready reporting tools to guide decision‑making. Earlier in my career, I supported financial planning and operational strategy through advanced reporting, cost analysis, and performance insights.Outside of work, I serve as Treasurer for the J. Smith Young YMCA Board of Directors, where I oversee budgeting, vendor strategy, and fundraising initiatives that strengthen our community programs.At my core, I’m passionate about making organizations run better—through intelligent data, strong processes, and meaningful relationships that enable people to be successful together.
