Grant Compliance Monitor at the School District of Philadelphia who raised its audit rating from 89% to 96%.

United States
Message

At the School District of Philadelphia, I lead compliance monitoring for federal grant programs across 25 schools. I coordinated audit preparation and corrective actions that raised the district's compliance audit rating from 89% to 96% within two quarters.

I also identified and corrected more than $2.5M in payroll allocations charged to incorrect funding sources. I translate grant requirements into practical documentation guidance and trained 45+ school staff and administrators, cutting submission errors by 50%.

Previously, as a Human Resources Specialist at the School District of Philadelphia, I applied collective bargaining agreements and district policy to salary actions, and supported payroll reconciliation and audit preparation. At Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., I reviewed mortgage loan files for regulatory compliance and maintained a 98% regulatory accuracy rate.
