What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a compliance-focused legal or operations role where I can apply regulatory analysis, contract expertise, and process improvements to reduce risk and drive mission-aligned operational reliability.

I am a compliance-focused legal operations leader who translates complex regulatory and contractual issues into clear, actionable strategies that reduce risk and improve outcomes.

I have led financial investigations and enforcement actions as a revenue officer, managed corporate security investigations, and served as a CFO and operations manager overseeing financial reporting, budgeting, vendor contracts, and compliance-focused process improvements.

I apply contract analysis, regulatory research, and cross-functional leadership to strengthen governance, streamline operations, and protect organizations through pragmatic policy and technology-driven efficiency.
