Summary

As an Internal Auditor specializing in Enterprise Risk Management, I thrive on turning complexity into clarity. I’m passionate about helping teams identify risks, close compliance gaps, and build stronger, smarter processes that last. I believe effective risk management isn’t just about pointing out problems; it’s about empowering people with solutions. That’s where I find my purpose: offering support, sharing knowledge, and collaborating to drive positive outcomes.
