As president of the IIA–Los Angeles Chapter, I am committed to creating opportunities for internal auditors to connect, learn, and grow. I work with fellow board members, industry leaders, and practitioners across the Southern California business community to support professional development and networking. Together, our chapter helps strengthen the profession and prepare the next generation of internal audit leaders.
Working in risk consulting at EY, I advise financial services organizations on internal audit transformation, strategic cosourcing engagements, risk management, governance, and regulations. I’m passionate about helping organizations manage complex risks and build resilient, high-performing audit functions that drive long-term value.
Outside of my professional and volunteer roles, I enjoy exploring new places, experimenting in the kitchen, and spending time outdoors. Living in Southern California gives me easy access to the mountains, where I enjoy hiking during the warmer months and skiing throughout the winter.
These activities help me maintain balance, allow me to continue learning, and bring fresh perspectives to my professional and volunteer leadership responsibilities.
