Stacey Thomas

Stacey Thomas brings nearly four years of professional experience to her role in finance, financial planning and analysis, and operations within the cruise line industry. After beginning her career as a pricing analyst in the insurance sector, where she adjusted rates for RVs, boats, and motorcycles on a statewide level, she transitioned to her current position nearly two years ago and was promoted to senior within less than a year. In her role, Thomas advises project managers on budgeting capital projects and operational expenses, prepares journal entries and month-end reports affecting the profit and loss statement, and supports financial management during dry dock ship renovations valued between 75 and 100 million dollars. She earned her bachelor's degree in business analytics from FIU in 2022, which has supported her analytical work across industries. Among her achievements, Thomas developed a dashboard system with key performance indicators to provide directors greater visibility into departmental project management, on-time and on-budget performance, and funding requests. She has been nominated several times for employee of the quarter. Outside of work, Thomas occasionally volunteers with the Three Virtues Organization, which provides meals for the less fortunate, operates a food pantry, hosts fundraisers, and runs a summer camp. She attributes her success to her determination and continuous drive to grow and improve processes for long-term benefit. Thomas values kindness, a positive attitude, honesty, and assisting others whenever possible, and she advises persistence and assertiveness, particularly in male-dominated fields.
