“Act as though it were impossible to Fail”
Dorothea Brande
My Mission…
To be authentic in all areas of life, cultivating meaningful relationships and sustainable connections while mastering the world of business, always growing in knowledge and humility to be an effective leader, impacting positive change.
Career
When it comes to generating financial resources in the work world, I wear two hats … I get to use my gifts as both a Financial Crimes Fighter and Real Estate Rockstar.
I am deeply passionate about my chosen corporate career field, aiding in the proficient efforts to end terrorism, human trafficking, money laundering and nefarious activity of the underworld like drug trafficking from within the Financial Crimes Compliance platform.
I am also filled with passion for connecting with people, helping to educate and support through the major life transition of home buying, selling and investing!
My greater work experience spans a host of industries which empowers me to bring and leverage a unique set of skills from areas like financial crimes risk management, learning & development, mentorship & coaching, communications, safety compliance, real estate and non-profit administration.
Know the hats you need to wear and wear them well!

I am a focused and driven professional, with a passion for people and a track record of achieving success by building networks, driving efficiency, motivating others and developing critical tools & framework that help people and organizations to succeed!
As an innovative thinker and strategist, I approach challenges as opportunities. I have an eye for identifying areas of improvement and a talent for relationship building, which contributes to my success in business functions like compliance, risk management, training delivery, communications and leadership across multiple collaborative industries.
I fulfill my passion and achieve big picture goals in both my career and time tithing efforts, expanding my professional skill sets and experience base, through continuing education, dedicated volunteer contributions and embracing a growth mindset.
I diligently build authentic relationships, capitalize on my experience in business and communication, leverage my understanding of technology & network influence, implement systems, identify improvement opportunities, and deliver unique solutions to drive successful outcomes.
Service
Life is about giving as much as receiving … so I focus my extra time giving back to the community through three specific pillars of passion!
Youth
Approximately 22.95% of children in the US alone have a psychiatric disorder (childmind.org)
In alignment with the efforts of ministry, I serve the youth community, providing support to inspire them from within. I help them to network & develop a relationship with resources, introducing tools for finding and developing understanding and practical knowledge of approaching life from a creative and loving center, filled with solutions, opportunity and compassion.
Addiction
Only 10% of the 21 million people dealing with addiction get treatment (addictioncenter.com)
I have committed to serve, through a variety of channels, in carrying the message within the community of individuals dealing with alcohol and substance addiction, providing information to the public on resources that may allow them help themselves or others on the path towards healing and recovery from addiction.
Homelessness
Homelessness is a universal challenge that shows up often right outside of our own front door.
I help in supporting the continued efforts of a host of organizations, focused on ending the challenge of homelessness. Contributing to the distribution of water, lunches and hygiene items to densely populated homeless areas within the local community.
