What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a regulated financial-services role where I own compliance/QC, drive process improvements, and support loan and collections operations with measurable risk reduction and audit-ready documentation—locally or remote.

I’m a financial services operations professional with 15+ years of progressive experience across quality control, compliance auditing, loan origination, and collections. I bring a strong track record of protecting member trust while keeping teams audit-ready and processes disciplined.

I’ve managed high-volume compliance work, executing 12 distinct compliance audit reports monthly across retail and consumer lending with alignment to NCUA, FDCPA, and BSA/AML regulations. I’m recognized for driving measurable results—managing $450K+ in monthly loan production and recovering $250K+ in delinquent assets, while maintaining zero audit violations and zero data breaches.

Across my roles, I’ve combined credit and risk expertise with process improvement. I’ve delivered root-cause analysis and corrective action plans to senior leadership, improved recurring compliance accuracy through targeted coaching, and handled complex casework—including fraud and non-fraud disputes—while maintaining accuracy across high-volume workloads.

I’m especially energized by work that connects compliance to day-to-day execution: chain-of-custody standards, audit report authoring, investigation, and operational improvements that strengthen culture. I’m available for operations management, compliance analyst, or senior loan officer roles—locally or remote—and I’m also an active Notary Public and Certified Loan Signing Agent.
