I was promoted in recognition of achieving excellence in Payment Services to taking a lead role in all planning and budgeting functions for the organization's project portfolio including tracking actual revenues and expenditures vs. budgets and categorizing/processing accounting transactions for each project. I currently manage a portfolio of 12 projects focused on the American Environment, with combined budgets valued at over $85M. Some of my key contributions and achievements include: 

♦ Auditing all financial reports, quickly identifying and reconciling any discrepancies noted as well as continually modifying revenue and expense budgets to update the Board and provide data for donor proposals.

♦ Carefully monitoring chart field coding accuracy for each program area and supporting all payment processing. 

♦ Architecting/maintaining budget templates and delivering training to various program staff on best practices for completing budget templates and interpreting budget revenue & spending data.

♦ Generating PeopleSoft queries to meet the needs of the Program Planning & Budget team.

♦ Delivering exceptional quality service to and foster strong relationships with both internal and external customers to facilitate smooth information sharing and operations. 

♦ A great achievement was designing a highly effective Macro tool that was instrumental in co-workers being able to decrease time spent on manually reporting salary allocations from 4 hours to just 30 minutes.

♦ I was honored with the "Partnership Award" for outstanding contributions on the US Public Lands project and delivering the highest standard of customer service.
