I am a finance professional with over 9 years of experience in credit control, accounts payable, process training and process improvement.

In addition, I have the distinction of being the process owner for all reporting within the teams I have operated in for the last 4 years. I am also rated as a Role Model in terms of Communications Skills and Process Knowledge for Order to Cash for my current organization. I am a former process trainer with over 5 years’ experience in training and development. As part of my current responsibilities, I
have exposure to adherence of SOx Controls and in my previous organization, I have worked as a certified Internal Quality Auditor for the ISO 9001:2008 standard.
As a manager I am innovative and flexible, with a keen eye for detail and expertise in data analysis. I have excellent exposure to data presentation as well expertise in process optimization. In my current role, I have been responsible for mentoring and driving 4 LEAN and 3 Six Sigma Green Belt projects.

I enjoy reading because it is an excellent way to escape into a new world. It allows you be imaginative and builds excellent vocabulary and grammatical skills while allowing you to pick up skills that are essential to making polite conversation.
