What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining compliance, investigations, or credentialing with opportunities to train or mentor, in a collaborative, integrity-driven organization.

I am a dedicated professional combining classroom teaching experience with corporate compliance and investigations. My background spans curriculum development, learner-centered instruction, and one-on-one adult education, alongside roles that demanded accuracy, integrity, and regulatory adherence.

In corporate positions I led fraud investigations, reviewed evidence, prepared audit reports, and coordinated field assignments to secure relevant information. I have hands-on experience with credit and identity verification systems and updating profiles through industry authorities.

As an Application Specialist I manage licensing and credentialing workflows, liaise with regulatory bodies, and maintain meticulous documentation to ensure compliance. I apply strong organizational and data-capturing skills to streamline processes and reduce risk.

I am motivated by roles that let me merge investigation and compliance expertise with educational strengths—mentoring, clear communication, and training—to improve processes and outcomes for organizations and learners.
