I have experience as a technical trainer successful at working alongside stakeholders to evaluate training needs and determine action plans while also being a disciplined and goal-driven professional with a detail-oriented and systematic mentality.

My drive is maintaining a quality-focused mindset and being proactive with demonstrating success in spotting and correcting issues. With both strong worth ethic and adaptability, I exhibit exceptional interpersonal skills and am adept at working effectively unsupervised and quickly mastering new skills. I maintain a meticulous and knowledgeable compliance management mindset base with a 6-year record in compliance objectives in policy development, program management, risk mitigation and operational planning. All these skills are needed to create the foundation of a successful compliance based administration and I look forward to being able to assist the team and company in meeting and surpassing it's goals.
