I'm a Senior Financial Analyst at PNC Financial Services with a passion for using data to drive strategic decisions. My career at PNC started in 2020 during the bank's first fully virtual internship, where I got hands-on experience with capital reporting and regulatory frameworks like Basel III.
After the internship, I was selected for PNC's competitive Finance & Accounting Development Program, where I completed four rotations in areas like financial systems and capital markets. During this time, I played a key role in the successful integration of PNC’s $11.6 billion acquisition of BBVA. I also took on a leadership role in my development program's cohort of analysts as a Career Development Chair, organizing training sessions and connecting my peers with senior executives.
In 2022, I moved to the Finance Project Management Office, where I managed reporting for a $1.6 billion technology portfolio. I built and automated a key dashboard that cut delivery time by two weeks and made the data more reliable. As a product owner for a $30 million ERP replacement project, I led coordination across over 100 stakeholders and helped shape the future of our core finance systems. Additionally, I led the implementation of an automated $1.8 million Initiative Approval Package (IAP) solution, which is now used by over 1,000 employees to streamline funding requests and strengthen understanding of the Change Methodology Framework Policy (CMFP).
Currently, in the Shared Services Corporate Controller Group, I lead the annual budgeting and five-year strategic planning for a $48 million+ finance technology portfolio. I'm responsible for consolidating financial inputs, resolving variances, and providing monthly reports to the CFO and other senior leaders to inform their decision-making. Beyond my core responsibilities, I also mentor junior analysts and lead initiatives focused on professional growth and AI innovation.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Finance with a minor in Spanish from Penn State University, graduating cum laude. My work is driven by a commitment to improving processes, developing talent, and delivering clear, actionable insights that support business strategy.
Beyond the office, my commitment to community and music is a huge part of my life. Since 2012, I've served as the Assistant Director and Public Relations Chair for the Emigsville Band, a 150-year-old 501(c)3 nonprofit community band. I'm proud to have played a key role in its revitalization, helping the band grow from 15 to over 100 musicians and expanding our annual performances from 5 to more than 40. I've also had the opportunity to conceive and execute large-scale music festivals that bring together local musicians and the community.
In 2021, I also took on the role of Assistant Director and Business Manager for the two-time award-winning Unforgettable Big Band based in York, Pennsylvania since 2000. My work there involves directing musical programming, managing business operations, and expanding our presence at cultural events across the Mid-Atlantic region. This has been a rewarding way to blend my passion for music with my experience in business and leadership.
Across the Southcentral PA music community, I've become well-known for these efforts. I'm a multi-instrumentalist who often subs in with other groups, and I'm recognized for my ability to handle the business and marketing side of a band. From managing logistics and finances to creating a strong social media presence that draws in bigger audiences and secures more gigs, I'm known for bringing a unique blend of musical and business acumen to the table.
I am the author of Dilemmas of Digital Natives: 10 Life Lessons I Learned Before 23. The book began as a personal journal, but evolved into a practical guide offering a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing Generation Z. It covers a range of topics, from personal finance and leadership to relationships and risk-taking, aiming to bridge the generational gap and provide valuable insights for readers of all ages.
