Combining my education and financial
expertise, I ensure corporate
stability by keeping a healthy
balance sheet, increasing revenue,
market share and profitability. I
consistently enhanced the bottom-line
by preparing and analyzing
forecasting models, providing
accurate reports and evaluating
credit risks for individuals and
small businesses.

By developing financial reports,
controlling expenses, and managing
employee/facility performance, I have
provided cost-effective, consistent
and high quality accounting support
that is responsive to corporate
objectives. Key strengths:

- Directing financial and operational
strategies to increase profitability

- Developing efficient internal
processes/procedures to ensure fiscal
controls

- Utilizing broad base of experience
in financial services to boost
revenue

- Planning and directing staff
development and policy administration

I earned an MS in Accounting and
Financial Management from the Keller
Graduate School of Management, and a
BA in Communications with a minor in
Finance from Clark Atlanta
University. I hold Investment Series
7, 63, 66, 65, Series 9/10 licenses
for Life Accident, Health Insurance
and Annuities, and I am in the
process of taking my CPA exams.
