What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and challenges in financial management.

I am a graduate with a strong foundation in accounting, holding both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Business in Accounting. My education has equipped me with the skills necessary to navigate the complexities of financial management, analysis, and reporting. I am passionate about helping businesses make informed financial decisions through meticulous auditing and risk management.

Currently, I work as an Auditor at the Naval Audit Service, where I conduct audits in accordance with Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS). My role involves preparing audit work papers and reports for management, enhancing internal controls, and developing Enterprise Risk Management frameworks. My previous experience as a Claim Benefit Specialist and Internal Auditor has further honed my skills in evaluating risk and ensuring compliance with federal regulations.

With a commitment to accuracy and a keen eye for detail, I strive to contribute positively to any organization I am part of. I am eager to leverage my expertise in financial analysis and auditing to support businesses in achieving their financial goals.
