What I'm looking for

I seek audit roles where I can lead risk-based assurance, strengthen governance, use data analytics, mentor teams, and contribute to public-sector reforms and accountability.

I am an internal audit professional with over seven years of progressive experience delivering risk-based audits, assurance, and advisory services across government, parastatals, health, education, agriculture, and energy sectors. I have led specialised IT and enterprise audits, strengthened ICT governance, and prepared strategic reports that supported public sector reform and improved accountability.

I excel at stakeholder engagement, data analysis, and capacity building, and I am skilled with HighBond, SAP, and audit management systems. I bring strong communication, project management, and leadership capabilities, with a track record of identifying exposures, recommending mitigation strategies, and enhancing internal controls to support sound decision-making.
