I am a finance and administration leader with over six years of experience directing fiscal operations, statutory compliance, and corporate governance across the corporate, pharmaceutical, and community development sectors. I design robust financial strategies, annual operating budgets, and internal control frameworks that safeguard liquidity and optimize costs. My approach combines meticulous accounting rigor with executive commercial analysis to inform high-stakes decision-making. I lead cross-functional teams to institutionalize audit readiness, manage statutory obligations, and deliver sustainable business performance.
