Audit Manager
I work with my team to deliver quality audits to our clients, all the while teaching and fostering our team to learn.
I work with my teams to develop the best approach for our audit (whether it be testing accountings or our client's processes and controls). We develop the approach together and execute. I foster their learning and teach them as much as I know and I look for others to do the same for me. My day includes a lot of internal calls and meetings with our team and firm but also with the client, as we are a client facing industry.

Talk to people and ask questions. If you never ask, you will never receive answers to the questions you have. As such for every opportunity that comes up in your life, ask and try to see how it coincides with your belief system and what you want out of life. People are always willing to answer.
