What I'm looking for

I seek audit roles in mission-driven organizations where I can apply donor compliance, data analytics, and leadership to strengthen financial controls and drive impact.

I am a senior audit professional with over four years' experience conducting financial audits for donor-funded programs and public and private sector entities, ensuring compliance with IFRS and international donor requirements. I have led audits for organizations including UNICEF, UNDP, UNFPA, UNHCR, USAID and the Global Fund, delivering spot checks, expenditure reviews and program closure audits.

My strengths include internal control assessments, risk evaluation, and applying data analytics to uncover financial anomalies and support audit insights. I have supervised and mentored audit teams, contributed to onboarding and capacity-building, and supported system transformations to improve audit documentation workflows.

I combine technical audit skills with leadership experience in AIESEC and Deloitte CSR initiatives, managing events, recruitment and national-level projects, and facilitating community outreach. I am committed to using financial and analytical expertise to support mission-driven programs and strengthen fiduciary accountability.
