What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a professional environment where I can audit and provide assurance for the company, research, governance and assurance technologies—while contributing auditing quality, ethical practice, and measurable outcomes.

I’m a current Lecturer delivering high-quality lectures, tutorials, and practical workshops in Auditing and Assurance, aligned with professional standards such as the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). I develop course materials and case studies, use blended learning and technology-enhanced teaching to improve student engagement, and provide timely formative and summative feedback. I also mentor students toward professional qualifications such as CIA, CA, and SAIPA.

Alongside teaching, I conduct applied research in auditing, governance, internal control, and technological innovation in assurance practices, including blockchain-focused work. My background also includes SAIPA Trainee and Internal Auditor responsibilities—financial statement preparation, VAT and income tax submissions, payroll administration, and supervised audit evidence gathering—plus academic support as a Tutor and Academic Writing Centre Student Advisor. I bring a continuous-improvement mindset to curriculum quality assurance, student success, and ethical compliance.
