        I had the pleasure of working with Aaliya most recently when I ran the Small and Medium Enterprise pratice at Aon.  she supported me and my team on forecasting, budgeting and monthly results. She took the initiative to help my team and I better understand the P&L and identify risks and opportunities in a timely manner. She has excellent attention to detail while not losing sight of the big picture. I was impressed with her communication skills and understanding of business and revenue drivers.

        I worked alongside Aaliya at American Express on a Business Analysis team that served as internal financial consultants on a wide range of projects.  Aaliya was customer-focused, diligent and thoughtful in the execution of her projects, consistently building strong relationships with her business partners.  In particular, Aaliya was effective at summarizing and presenting financial analysis to business partners in a way they could relate to.  It was a pleasure working with Aaliya as she always had a positive demeanor and would collaborate effectively with the rest of her team.  I recommend Aaliya for roles that require management of financial projects or processes.
