About

13 years. Three industries. One standard: get it right. I did not start my career in public accounting — I started on the inside, in internal audit, learning how organizations actually work. Where risks hide. Where controls quietly break down. What it takes to build a process that holds up when it really needs to. That foundation took me into public accounting, where I led external audits across energy, healthcare, manufacturing, and real estate. I got to see what clean financials look like from the outside — and more importantly, what it costs when they are not. Now, in corporate accounting roles at EnLink Midstream and ONEOK, I bring both of those lenses to every close cycle, every compliance process, and every system I touch. I know what auditors are looking for. I used to be one. In practice, that means close packages that do not come back with questions, compliance processes built to hold up under scrutiny, and a meticulous mindset that genuinely does not switch off. I am comfortable in complexity. I take pride in the details. And after 13 years, I still believe that is exactly where the real work happens.
