About

Professional summary

I am a business transformation and strategic execution professional with VP-level experience improving operations, risk management, governance, and regulatory readiness in complex, highly regulated environments.

I specialize in identifying root causes, bringing structure to fragmented processes, and converting operational data into actionable business intelligence. My work combines operational analytics, strategic judgment, process design, and hands-on execution.

At Wells Fargo, I led and supported enterprise initiatives spanning remediation quality management, RCSA and control management, audit and examination readiness, workforce capacity planning, and process optimization. I have built reporting platforms, forecasting models, governance workflows, and standardized operating procedures that improved leadership visibility and execution outcomes.

I am experienced in advanced Excel analytics, Microsoft Access, Tableau, Agile delivery, UAT, stakeholder coordination, reporting automation, and process documentation. I have also led teams, mentored analysts, and supported large-scale organizational adoption of technology-enabled workflow solutions.

I am currently expanding my expertise through cybersecurity and information assurance studies while developing capabilities in security, governance, data management, generative AI workflows, and AI-assisted research and documentation.
