Bilingual/Bicultural (English/Spanish) | Quality Assurance Manager | Compliance & Governance Professional | BS in Organizational Leadership & Management | Focused on Operational Efficiency & Regulatory Adherence
I bring a strategic and detail-oriented approach to compliance, regulatory compliance, governance, and quality assurance, ensuring organizations meet standards, mitigate risks, and operate with integrity. With expertise in program management, risk oversight, and training development, I specialize in optimizing processes, driving accountability, and fostering collaboration across teams. Philanthropy has shaped my professional journey, providing me with a global perspective and the ability to thrive in dynamic, fast-paced environments. My experience working with individuals from varied cultural and professional backgrounds has strengthened my ability to navigate complexity with clarity and precision. Being bilingual (English/Spanish) enhances my ability to engage and collaborate with diverse teams, further strengthening my effectiveness in these roles. In addition to my core professional work, I actively contribute to decision-making processes in community-focused initiatives. This includes reviewing scholarship and award nominations, evaluating proposals for workforce reentry initiatives, and assessing volunteer recognition efforts. These experiences have deepened my understanding of governance, program management, and the importance of thoughtful evaluation in driving meaningful outcomes. I have hands-on experience in regulatory compliance training in the banking industry, where I developed and delivered programs to ensure adherence to industry regulations. Additionally, I have worked on federal grant projects, overseeing fund allocation, ensuring projects met regulatory requirements and objectives, and contributing to comprehensive program reviews to support successful outcomes while maintaining compliance with standards. Currently, I am exploring new opportunities in consulting, contract, fractional, and full-time roles where I can leverage my extensive experience in compliance, governance, and training to help organizations improve operational efficiency and maintain regulatory adherence. Let’s connect and explore how we can collaborate to strengthen your organization’s initiatives in these areas!
