A former SVP turned independent consultant, nationally recognized for specializing in Fair Lending and UDAAP, who believes in shattering the stereotype that managing regulatory risk can be onerous, time-consuming, costly and detract from business revenue. I believe banks of all sizes can not only grow, but thrive and set themselves apart from their competition by foundationally having a robust compliance management program, that compliments and partners closely with the functional areas they support. I achieve this by ensuring that all front-line staff, middle management and senior-level executives have a solid baseline understanding of regulatory risk. I educate my business partners on why complying with federal regulations and laws will not only reduce litigation, regulatory and reputation risks but help maintain an organization that focuses on understanding and serving a customer's financial needs. I take time to thoroughly build relationships and grasp business initiatives and goals so that I am able to offer complimentary risk mitigation solutions.In addition to my compliance background, I also own a second business, Vacations by Coastal Haven, LLC. where I partner with short-term rental homeowners to create Direct Booking websites, logo and brand standards, targeted marketing and more. I am also a certified Short Term Rental Stylist and offer full short-term rental staging from design to installation.
