I am an experienced Brand Protection Director with expertise in implementing global strategy, growing and fortifying intellectual property rights, analyzing key trends, and investigating and enforcing online and offline targets. I specialize in spearheading the management of criminal and civil enforcement for globally recognized luxury goods to combat counterfeiting and protect brands and consumers alike.  With my background in production, I have unique insight into how and where goods are produced and all of the moving parts that go into the development of a product which I have applied to my work in brand protection. I have personally attended criminal raids in China and the United States, working side by side with local law enforcement and have traveled far and wide to collaborate with Homeland Security agents and global Customs agents. I also had the rare opportunity to present the details of my work to the US Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy.I am passionate about helping others, whether I'm protecting an exciting new design, keeping valued consumers safe, or aiding my fellow colleagues. I value human connection, being a lifelong learner, and embrace the opportunity to travel and see the world whenever possible, albeit sometimes with a pre-schooler and toddler in tow.
