My background is in educational entity and local government auditing as a State of Florida auditor—particularly in areas like stakeholder engagement, public transparency, and long-term strategic planning. My auditing of educational institutions has required navigating complex regulatory environments, managing large-scale operational audits, and ensuring public accountability—skills that align closely with the regulatory and operational demands of airports and the challenges facing airport auditors. Throughout my career, I’ve successfully adapted to the research involved with evolving standards and diverse audit environments. I’ve developed deep expertise in risk assessment, internal controls, compliance, and performance auditing—core competencies that are just as critical in the airport auditing sector as they are in educational institutions. I am fully bilingual and understand that unique experiences can bring groups together and make an organization stronger.
