What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a mission-critical role where I can apply strong compliance and internal controls, safeguard sensitive information, and support audit readiness—while leading investigations, improving processes, and mentoring teams to reduce risk and ensure timely, accurate decisions.

I’m an analytical professional with over 10 years of experience in federal and federally regulated environments, performing detailed request review, compliance analysis, internal control enforcement, and risk mitigation. I safeguard sensitive information by applying policy and procedural controls, documenting determinations for audit readiness, and collaborating with analysts, data personnel, and management to resolve operational and system-related issues.

In my recent role as a Federal Passport Specialist (CGI Federal), I conducted independent eligibility and authenticity review for high-volume passport applications, identified documentation discrepancies and risk indicators, and initiated corrective actions to protect government resources. I also served as acting lead in the absence of management, supported Congressional and executive-level inquiries through research and analysis, and mentored junior specialists to strengthen accuracy, compliance, and consistency.
