What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my compliance expertise while driving sales growth in a collaborative environment.

I am a compliance and sales professional with over 5 years of experience in tax preparation, NCAA compliance, and B2B sales. My career has been marked by a proven record of optimizing regulatory processes and leading cross-functional initiatives. I thrive in high-stakes environments, whether in corporate settings or collegiate athletics, and I am dedicated to ensuring compliance while driving sales growth.

In my current role as Assistant Director at Compliance Solutions, Inc., I have successfully driven lead generation and outbound cold calling efforts, significantly increasing our sales pipeline. My responsibilities also include preparing and filing transaction tax returns with high accuracy. I represent the company at national conferences, building valuable client relationships and collaborating with teams to streamline client onboarding and reporting processes.

Previously, I served as Assistant Director of Compliance at the University of Miami Athletics, where I oversaw recruiting visit approvals and ensured NCAA compliance during critical championship seasons. My ability to deliver NCAA bylaw interpretations and train new hires has been instrumental in maintaining compliance across multiple sports. I am passionate about my work and continuously seek opportunities to improve processes and foster collaboration.
