Professional Story

From operating systems to investigative systems

My career began in the operations of a multigenerational family business, where I learned that organizational problems rarely exist in isolation. Inventory errors, weak controls, unclear pricing, process gaps, and customer disputes often point to deeper systemic issues.

I rebuilt processes, introduced accountability systems, modernized pricing and reporting, and helped create stronger operational visibility. That work sharpened the skills that now define my professional direction: pattern recognition, evidence evaluation, root-cause analysis, risk identification, and defensible decision-making.

After earning my MBA and Certified Fraud Examiner credential, I began applying that same evidence-first mindset to fraud, financial crime, enterprise risk, trust and safety, and emerging areas of AI governance.
