What I'm looking for

I seek a senior audit or risk role in an organization valuing strong governance, continuous improvement, impactful recommendations, team leadership, and professional growth.

I am a results-driven internal audit, risk management, and assurance professional with over six years of experience delivering risk-based audit plans, compliance reviews, and financial assurance that support organizational goals.

I have led and mentored audit teams, developed internal audit strategic plans, and drafted key governance documents including Internal Audit and Audit Committee Charters, contributing to unqualified audit opinions and high closure rates on recommendations.

My achievements include developing ERM frameworks, performing ISO internal audits, applying TeamMate+ with integrated analytics, and receiving recognition such as Rising Auditor of the Year 2024 and finalist for regional assurance awards.
