Leadership & Team Management: At Forvis Mazars, I transitioned into a Lead role and was on track for promotion to Manager. I’ve successfully guided teams through complex audit cycles, mentored junior staff, and collaborated cross-functionally to meet client expectations.

Client-Focused Mindset: I’ve worked closely with clients to understand their unique needs, deliver tailored solutions, and communicate audit findings clearly and constructively. My approach builds trust and long-term relationships.

CPA Eligibility & Academic Credentials: I hold dual MBAs (Accounting and HR Management) and am CPA-eligible, with a strong grasp of accounting principles and audit methodologies.

Remote Work Readiness: Based in Sugar Land, TX, I’m fully equipped and experienced in remote work environments, ensuring productivity, responsiveness, and collaboration across time zones.
