I have 6 years experience performing a wide variety of auditing functions for publicly traded companies. After graduating with a degree in Finance and Spanish from Louisiana State University in 2004, I began working as an internal auditor in the real estate industry for a Surety and Title Insurance Underwriter. The position required a diverse skill set in order to assist management with functions that included performance of due diligence for corporate targets, investigations into defalcations and fraudulent activity, financial statement auditing, operational auditing, and ensuring compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act.

I currently manage all aspects of the internal audit department of a publicly traded manufacturing company. The internal audit activity maintains an in-depth understanding of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and advises senior management on the ramifications to the Company. Other services provided to the Company include analyzing data obtained for evidence of deficiencies in control, duplication of effort, fraud, or lack of compliance with laws, government regulations and management policies and procedures. The department acts upon irregularities uncovered by audits and reports conflicts of interest and unethical conduct to senior management and Audit Committee. The department works closely with executive management and external auditors to ensure efficient and effective testing, remediation and re-testing of all key controls affecting financial reporting.
