Partner / Quality Implementation Leader, LatAm South
I work with our Region’s Assurance Leader in driving and sustaining audit quality.
On a daily basis I’m in several meetings and calls, but no matter who’s involved or the purpose of the meeting, it always goes back to helping people and teams. I could be providing my perspective on an audit or helping to figure out what strategy to take on a challenging situation. But I’m always focused on helping others.
Here's the first step for everyone
Get your education. After that, be willing to open yourself up to learning, listening and working as a team. Take your career in your hands and make sure that you're willing to take on more challenging assignments. Don't stay in your comfort zone. Connect with those who are doing what you might see yourself doing.
"Accounting is a male-dominated industry especially in Latin America. I have years of professional experience and do well in my role. Yet, I’ve heard indirect critical comments, which is something that women may experience in this part of the world."
