What I'm looking for

I'm interested in opportunities across program management, operations, audit, compliance, risk, and financial oversight.

At Texas Workforce Commission, I lead a team overseeing reviews of state and federal funding programs, quality assurance, and compliance matters. I serve as a subject-matter resource on complex fiscal issues, including allowability, procurement, single audits, and potential fraud.

I also lead special projects involving enhanced reviews, fraud referrals, agency requests, and complex financial issues. I train new employees and provide division-wide training on monitoring practices, systems, procedures, and fiscal requirements.

At Southern Careers Institute, I managed teams of up to 50 employees across education and career services. As Director of Education, I oversaw instructional operations, budgets, and compliance, and led the department to Department of the Year recognition.

Earlier, I supported students with career preparation and job placement, and built relationships with employers and community partners. At Mindful Management, I supported operations across 13 stores, maintained financial reporting and bookkeeping systems, and assisted during two acquisition phases.
