What I'm looking for

I seek a role focused on SOX and internal controls where I can lead audits, improve processes, mentor teams, and present risk insights to senior leadership.

I am an internal audit professional with hands-on experience executing operational, financial, and SOX compliance audits across retail, manufacturing, banking, and healthcare environments. I deliver clear risk assessments and actionable recommendations to executive leadership and audit committees.

I have managed and mentored remote audit teams, led multiple financial statement engagements, and designed department- and firm-wide training on SOX compliance, revenue recognition, lease accounting, and internal control testing procedures. I leverage audit platforms such as Workiva and KPMG Clara to streamline end-to-end audit workflows and improve team efficiency.

I maintain adherence to IIA standards and COSO framework principles while focusing on process improvements that reduce operational risk and financial exposure. I am CPA-eligible and a CIA candidate with testing scheduled for 2025, committed to continued professional growth and high-quality assurance delivery.
