Chief of Area

I'm an investigation-focused non-financial risk and compliance professional enthusiast (yes, they exist!) with 15+ years of experience reviewing regulatory changes (ABAC/AML/KYC/ESG) and keeping things shipshape 🚢 . I've crunched numbers, led strategic initiatives, and even dabbled in training the next generation of compliance whizzes. My superpower? Turning complex compliance jargon into plain English (and sometimes Spanish, thanks to my adventures in India and Singapore!).

I thrive in collaborative environments where a good laugh is as valued as a well-executed audit. Swimming keeps me centered (and sane) amidst the chaos, and my love for connecting with people makes building relationships a breeze. 🧘‍♀️🤝

I'm a data nerd at heart, but I also believe in the power of intuition and a good gut feeling. 📊  I'm excited to leverage my skills to help organizations navigate the ever-changing regulatory landscape and make smart, informed decisions.

If you're looking for the best non-financial risk and compliance pro who's not afraid to roll up their sleeves and have some fun along the way, let's connect!
