senior it risk advisor, it risk and assurance

About

I currently work within the Advisory Services practice of Ernst & Young LLP, with a career focus in the IT & Risk Assurance discipline within the Financial Services industry. Prior to joining EY, I received my B.S. in Business Administration from the University of South Carolina in May of 2015 with a double major in Finance and Risk Management & Insurance. My educational background is primarily focused around financial analysis and operations, business management, and risk management. I have experience in internal audit, accounting, and financial advising fields through past internships and various hands-on experiences. I hope to strengthen and grow my career within the Financial Services industry as I continue my education within the IT and Risk Management fields. I also passed the Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) examination in June 2016 and am working to gain the required professional experience before becoming certified.
