Work Experience
Hired by MACOSS Group to assist Johnson & Johnson's Ethicon franchise as financial data analyst for E&O and world-wide inventory consolidation and reporting.
Started with implementing operational processes and procedures in a newly acquired Managed Services team. Once operationalized, moved to working with Business Planning and Operations, Finance and Revenue teams to asses, advice and report on key metrics all committed to superior customer success.
Worked with highly talented people who helped and guided me to become a corporate professional.
Created QA processes and procedures supporting the VCIP program at a local technology services provider.
From a customer, to an employee and finally a friend of Knowlity and admired Knowliteers, this experience has taught me the new way of life and balance. These amazing people, along with all the experiences we lived trough are an inspiration to me; I am forever grateful of being a part of this team.
Worked as Assistant Project manager, supporting site engineers and supervisors, procurement, accounting and billing for multiple construction projects.
Excellent local team of architects and engineers, who welcomed me into my professional beginnings.
I’m currently working under contract, while at the same time studying for my Professional Real Estate Appraiser License. I was granted the “Appraisal Diversity Scholarship” to complete my Appraiser Trainee License, my goal is to complete this phase before the end of 2024.
I used my pandemic down-time to learn about Finance & Accounting, Bookkeeping and a Real Estate, to learn more and set a new outlook.

Favorite quotes
Geroge McFly
“If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.” -Back to the Future
Barack Obama
“Change will not come, if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”
Bernard M. Baruch
“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.”
J. R. R. Tolkien
“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
It’s better to be willing to learn, adapt and grow, rather than resist, an ever-changing world.
Attributes
What makes me distinctive?
Both my creative and methodical backgrounds -from Architectural Design and Business- allow me to combine both aspects seamlessly on my professional and personal settings. Also, my “always learning” philosophy allows me to expand my skills and knowledge whenever I encounter new challenges and interests.

An Owner’s Mindset
I was raised in my father’s printshop. There I learned to have both an owner’s mindset and at the same time, an employee’s view of work about the business. I consider this to be a competitive advantage on my part since I base my daily work decisions by envisioning myself as an owner of the business and letting this mindset lead and prioritize my tasks regardless of my job description.

Problem Solving
Each problem is unique within its context: this idea allows me to incorporate my design skills to create frameworks and find a root cause. This method helps ensure next steps in providing clear solutions to the problem, not the superficial symptoms. My areas of expertise in process management, business planning and operations provide a basis for insights to create solutions.

Life Balance
Today the expression “work life balance” has taken a new meaning. To me, work is an integral part of our lives, but placing work before life can become a burden. I use crafts to bring balance between both life and work, to clear my mind and ensure they come together in a cohesive whole. So from now on, when I say “life balance” I mean life with everything that comes with it.
