What I'm looking for

I’m looking to continue delivering legally defensible, GAGAS-aligned audits and inspections—using structured frameworks, rigorous evidence standards, and efficient reporting—within organizations that value COI discipline, rapid deployment, and actionable recommendations.

I’m a compliance consultant and performance auditor with 20+ years of high-stakes federal and state regulatory oversight. I deliver GAGAS-compliant performance audits and comprehensive facility inspections, leveraging unannounced field operations, structured root-cause analysis, and cross-functional interviewing to produce evidence-based, audit-ready reporting.

In recent roles, I’ve conducted risk-based compliance evaluations and mock inspections, standardized audit methodologies using the 5-Element framework across multi-site networks, and modernized documentation workflows to accelerate corrective action planning. Previously, I executed high-rigor performance audits for legislative oversight, led statewide unannounced inspections for licensed healthcare and residential facilities, and directed prosecution-ready investigations—consistently maintaining strong operational readiness, COI discipline, and defensible documentation integrity.
