Message

At SHERWIN-WILLIAMS, I manage internal investigations into suspected fraud, employee misconduct, policy violations, and operational irregularities, from initial identification through findings and recommendations. I interview people, evaluate evidence, and prepare investigative documentation.

I use Excel, Tableau, and ThinkLP to analyze investigative and operational data, identify suspicious activity, and support risk-based decisions. I also develop quarterly reporting dashboards for corporate leadership and support Audit Committee reporting.

Previously, I conducted investigations at PSG and operational loss prevention audits at DTiQ (formerly LP Innovations). At BEST BUY, I monitored surveillance systems and conducted physical security assessments.
