Bio

I changed careers after 18 years and now am the Vice President of Internal Operations at Financial Center First Credit Union.  I am currently working on updating my bio.

I specialize in financial crime investigations, FCPA and anti-bribery anti-corruption regulatory compliance, anti-money laundering/terrorist financing remediation and investigation and BSA/AML remediation. I’ve collaborated with the FBI, Secret Service, Indiana State Police, Attorney General’s office, prosecutors, and law firms. I often use technology to enhance my investigations, specifically Excel and ACL for data mining and i2 for relationship mapping. I am a life time member of the FBI Citizens Academy Alumni and graduate of The Reid Technique of Interviewing and Interrogation Training. I served as an expert witness in a multi-million dollar embezzlement bench trial and met with financial instruction regulators when assisting with complex violations, enforcement actions and remediation.
