I was initially bought in to provide technical expertise, but earned quick promotion through several leadership roles culminating in my appointment to IT Auditor Expert/Lead. While I work to collaborate with business area management and internal stakeholders to complete audits and serve as liaison and main point of contact organization-wide, I’ve also embraced my role as coach, team builder, mentor, and developer of talent. With a clear understanding of my team’s needs and a dedication to developing others, I’m proud to have delivered the following.► NEW LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES. I’ve launched two new professional development programs that have generated collaboration from our audit department and participation from staff. Employees now have access to internal mentoring, and leaders are challenging themselves to think differently while discussing a variety of leadership topics.► LEADING 2 AUDITS SIMULTANEOUSLY while overseeing 7 assistant auditors. Despite some unforeseen personnel issues, we completed both audits on time and within budget.► ON-BOARDING NEW STAFF AND INTERNS in collaboration with our management team. I provided on-going mentoring and support to integrate new hires to organizational culture. I also took over my department’s new hire on-boarding role after departure of previous leader. ► SUPPORTING EMPLOYEES MOVING THROUGH ROTATION PROGRAM. As a leader, it was particularly fulfilling to guide mentees through audit project training while providing direct feedback to respective reporting manager.In addition to the internal mentoring/employee support programs I worked on, I served as our company's Toastmaster Club President and was nominated as Kansas State University’s Executive Mentor of the Year.
