My expertise lies in HCD regulations and government services, where I have successfully ensured compliance with government guidelines and prepared detailed financial statements. I have a proven track record of managing budgets, implementing internal controls, and applying GAAP and FASB standards.

Throughout my career, I have led teams through complex financial projects and disaster recovery processes, demonstrating my ability to navigate dynamic environments. I am dedicated to using my broad skill set to support accounting and auditing roles, driving successful outcomes in financial operations and disaster recovery initiatives. I am eager to leverage my expertise and contributing to emergency management and disaster recovery efforts.
