I assess financial-services licence applications and strengthen regulatory processes in Belize.

Message

At the Financial Services Commission of Belize, I assess and process new and renewal licence applications, including material changes for clients.

I've progressed from Registration Officer and International Trust Registration Officer to Senior Licensing & Authorizations Officer, supporting the regulation and supervision of non-bank financial services. I help develop internal processes and standard operating procedures, train and guide licensing officers, and review work for compliance with established policies and standards.

When required, I oversee departmental operations in the absence of the Director. My background includes regulatory anti-money laundering and financial crimes prevention certification, financial analysis training, and a Bachelor of Science in International Business earned Magna Cum Laude.
