Senior Audit & Risk Management Professional

Rigor, trust, and clear communication in audit & risk.

I'm a senior audit and risk professional with 10+ years across Big Four advisory and enterprise financial services — currently a Senior Lead Audit Manager at Wells Fargo, and open to remote senior roles in internal audit, risk, and controls.

01About

My career sits at the center of the disciplines that keep large, highly regulated organizations sound: internal audit, enterprise risk assessment, issue management, and internal controls.

At Wells Fargo, I lead teams through enterprise risk assessment refreshes, build and monitor reporting in the firm's Audit Management System, and partner with audit leaders across the company. Before that, I spent six years at KPMG delivering financial statement audits and advisory work for public companies in healthcare, technology, and consumer markets, and managing staff across complex federal engagements.

What colleagues tend to say about working with me: I'm reliable, I build trust quickly, and I bring calm rigor to complicated, high-stakes work. I'm the person you want owning the details when the details matter.

04How I Work

Reliable, start to finish

Known for loyalty and follow-through. When I own a workstream, leaders stop worrying about it.

Built for distributed teams

My current role is already largely virtual — running enterprise-wide calls and coordinating audit teams across locations.

Calm rigor

Complicated, high-stakes work gets clearer when someone brings structure and steady communication. That's my lane.

Let's talk.

I'm currently exploring remote senior roles in internal audit, risk, and controls. If you're hiring — or think I'd be a fit for your team — I'd love to hear from you.
