**** ******* ***** **. **** Tobacco MD 20677 *********@*****.*** (C) 402-***-**** Profile

I am a highly motivated individual with 25 years of professional experience in finance, program management, and compliance analysis. I serve as the subject matter expert within my current position managing various directorates supported by fee funding and appropriated dollars, analyzing agency risk, and consulting directors to ensure budgets are aligned with program needs. Skill sets I also possess include strong communication (written, oral, and interpersonal) and exceptional organizational skills with the ability to multi-task and prioritize to achieve mission goals. I am very cooperative in a team environment, while equally effective working independently. I am looking to take a leadership role in a program and work toward business goals.
