Summary

I am an audit and risk management professional with over 15-years of experience in internal audit, operational risk management and BSA/AML compliance roles.

Similarly, through sales and marketing efforts, I grew an existing monitoring service from 85 clients to 117 clients.


Leading teams throughout my career, I have consistently shown an ability to meet goals and objectives while being persistently positive, steady and under control. My work ethic and ability to problem solve have been common themes highlighted in performance reviews.
