What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a trusted role where I can anticipate needs, manage complex priorities, protect confidentiality, and help a leader, family, estate, or mission run smoothly.

I've led high-stakes banking operations at United Bank and Truist, managing teams, client relationships, and competing priorities with consistent follow-through.

At United Bank, I managed a $280M revenue portfolio across two locations and a 12-person team. During an unplanned executive vacancy, I sustained operations while recruiting, onboarding, and transitioning an incoming leader with zero revenue or culture disruption.

I've built partnership networks from scratch at Princeton Mortgage, generating 50–70 loan applications across 15 loan officers in five months and increasing referral volume by 12%. My work is grounded in trust, discretion, and anticipating what needs to happen before it becomes a question.

I'm trilingual in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, and bring community leadership through Ronald McDonald House Charities, The Arc of the Piedmont, the Charlottesville Chamber of Commerce, UNOS, and Rotary International.
