Always learning
I treat every new tool, process or industry as something to learn properly. In 2026 I completed bookkeeping training, earned my Xero, QuickBooks and HIPAA certifications, and I'm now finishing Medical VA training, all while working.

01 About
Clinical precision, applied to your business.
I'm a detail-oriented administrative and finance professional. Today I run the finance desk of an agricultural trading business: payroll, supplier payments, expense and sales records, loan tracking and monthly reports.
Before that I worked as a hospital Medical Laboratory Scientist. That work taught me to be accurate under time pressure, to protect confidential patient information, and to stay calm when requests are urgent. I bring the same habits to remote work.
02 How I work
Willing to learn. Determined to follow through.
Skills can be taught. What I bring to every client is the attitude to keep learning, adapt to the way you work, and see each task through so your days run smoothly.
Quick to adapt
I moved from a hospital laboratory to running finance for a trading business. With a new client, I learn your systems, preferences and priorities, and work the way your team already works.
I don't give up
When a task is difficult or a deadline is tight, I keep going until it is done right. The hospital lab taught me to stay calm and accurate when results were urgent.
Your workload, running smoothly
My goal is fewer things on your plate. I follow up, keep records current and raise questions early, so tasks move forward and nothing is left hanging.
“Every workload has a way through it. I'll find it with you.”
