Work Experience

• Negotiation, execution, and archival of various contracts between research organizations and

allowed project managers and legal to view the status of all pending contracts, saving time
waiting for emails and phone calls.
• Worked closely with directors and VPs for forecasting and reporting of multimillion dollar
budgets for clinical trials and investigator sponsored research. Spreadsheets that I proposed
and created allowed for the root of budget discrepancies to be easily determined, and lead to
monthly budget variance decreasing by over 50%.
• Conceived and created departmental SharePoint site and template Excel spreadsheets for
uniform reporting across multiple project teams, allowing for efficient real time reports for
upper management.
• Invoice generation, receiving, processing, and tracking were linked to a new mid-month budget
reporting system that resulted in a ~33% increased rate of correct payment allocation since
2012. Proposed and worked on said system with our Finance department.
