What I'm looking for

I’m looking to strengthen regulatory compliance, licensing requirements, and audit processes—building policy-aligned workflows, improving reporting accuracy, and partnering cross-functionally to identify and escalate risk while staying audit-ready.

I’m a compliance and legal operations specialist with 4+ years managing regulatory workflows, risk identification, and cross-functional compliance initiatives. I evaluate documentation for irregularities, escalate risks, and maintain high-volume monitoring systems with strong accuracy.

In my current role, I manage the end-to-end lifecycle of 150+ franchise agreements annually across federal and multi-state requirements, including applying state-specific rules to each transaction. I designed an audit process from scratch to ensure adherence to FTC regulations, maintain 10+ monitoring and tracking systems, and prepare traceable compliance documentation that keeps audit readiness strong while aligning with policy and procedure standards.
