MY STORY
A Career Built On Compliance, Integrity & Practical Solutions
Trade compliance is more than regulations and paperwork—it is about protecting businesses, supporting growth, and creating systems that withstand constant regulatory change.
​
My career began in customs brokerage and freight forwarding, where I developed a strong understanding of international shipping, customs procedures, and the operational challenges businesses face every day. As my experience grew, I moved into corporate compliance leadership, supporting organizations with classification, export controls, compliance audits, risk management, and internal program development.
​
Throughout my career, I have worked alongside manufacturers, distributors, logistics providers, attorneys, and corporate leadership teams to solve complex trade compliance challenges. These experiences shaped the foundation of The Trade Pros—a consulting practice focused on practical guidance, proactive risk management, and long-term compliance success.
​
Today, I continue helping organizations build stronger compliance programs through consulting, training, assessments, and strategic support tailored to each client's unique operations.
