With over 20 years of experience in the financial services industry, I’ve built a career at the intersection of operations, compliance, data, and people. My journey has taken me through roles such as Portfolio Administrator, Client Service Manager, Director of Operations, and Chief Compliance Officer—each one deepening my understanding of how systems, strategy, and human capital come together to drive success.

I’ve led client service and trading teams, overseen HR functions, and managed firm-wide data and systems initiatives. I’m known for being highly organized, process-oriented, and a strong cross-functional collaborator. Whether it’s streamlining workflows, ensuring regulatory compliance, or aligning operations with business goals, I bring a thoughtful, systems-minded approach to every challenge.

Now, I’m looking to join a forward-thinking team where I can contribute my experience, support, meaningful growth, and help build scalable, compliant, and people-centered operations.
