Finance has been a core focus in my role, and it’s an area where I consistently deliver results. At the FAU Career Center, I manage a 7-figure budget that includes forecasting, expense tracking, salary and benefit calculations, and year-end reconciliation. I’ve developed financial tracking systems that improved how we allocate resources and helped reduce costs by over 15 percent in a single fiscal year.

I prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reports that are used by leadership to guide decision-making. I also submit compliance documents like the annual UBIT report to the university’s tax department. Part of my work includes reconciling accounts across platforms such as Workday, TouchNet, and Handshake, ensuring that all records are accurate and up to date.

One of the most impactful projects I led was an account reconciliation initiative that uncovered and recovered more than 10 percent of our projected annual revenue. I also support various teams by managing spend authorizations, processing invoices and refunds, and tracking performance-related expenses.

I work closely with departments like Accounts Payable, HR, Legal, and Procurement to manage contracts and ensure compliance with university policies. My role is not just about keeping the numbers in order. I see finance as a strategic tool, and I take pride in helping others understand the financial side of their work so they can make smarter decisions.
