What I'm looking for

I’m seeking Senior Consultant work supporting federally funded programs, grant management, and regulatory compliance across state, local, and federal environments.

At AC Disaster, I oversee the financial side of federally funded programs, from payment validation and reconciliation to documentation and compliance reviews. I also identify discrepancies and support corrective actions.

In TEMA-aligned engagements, I reviewed contracts, developed and validated contract packages, and conducted execution reviews to support compliant program workflows.

Across engagements with Arcadis, CDM Smith, AECOM, Tidal Basin, MPACT, and DCMC, I managed financial validation and closeout for federally funded projects. I reviewed costs and supporting records for eligibility under 2 CFR 200 and FEMA PA requirements.

Earlier, I supported grant programs at PwC and program delivery across various engagements. My work included documentation review, compliance tracking, reporting, and audit readiness.
