About

I am a senior director in the Houston Energy Group in the Economic Consulting practice of FTI Consulting. I have 10 years of experience in providing litigation support through developing oil and gas valuation models for complex energy-related disputes. My functions also involve assisting in the development of settlement strategies and expert reports for trial.

Prior to joining FTI, I worked for International Drawback Services (IDS) facilitating duty drawback on steel and titanium alloys for our clients. Based on U.S. Customs and Border Protection regulations, I developed the processes to automate team functions and maximize clients' tariff recovery opportunities.

Prior to IDS, I held various accounting positions in Continental Airlines where I handled all accounts payable transactions for the Canadian airport station and I streamlined the reconciliation of the refunds issued by national and international airport stations. In addition, I participated in the implementation phase of the web-based accounting program that tracked ticket sales, taxes, travel certificate usage, refunds, etc.

My experience also includes the healthcare industry as it relates to private practice operations, insurance benefits, claims & appeals and patient collections from my work in the private dermatology practice of Dr. Joseph S. Alexander, M.D., P.A.
