As the Chief of Internal Audit, Assurance, and Advisory at the National Gallery of Art, I have been serving as an advisor to the Board of Trustees and the Director. I provide internal assurance and consulting services designed to assess and improve upon the effectiveness of the Gallery's governance, risk management, and internal controls, as well as the quality of performance in carrying out our strategic priorities to achieve the Gallery's mission and vision.With a Master's degree in Accounting and a Certified Public Accountant credential, I have over 20 years of experience in internal audit, compliance, and advisory roles in the legal and cultural sectors. I have a passion for art and culture, and a strong commitment to enhancing the value and impact of the Gallery's programs and operations. I have led and managed many complex and innovative projects and initiatives, and have counseled and advised leadership on best practices, opportunities for enhanced internal controls and increased efficiency, and compliance issues. I have also established and developed internal audit departments, policies, and systems for several organizations, and have trained and mentored staff and employees on how to prevent and detect fraud, mitigate risk, and improve processes.
