About

Summary

With over 20 years of experience in risk management, governance, operational strategy, and executive leadership, I help organizations strengthen their infrastructure, improve oversight, and navigate complex business and regulatory environments with confidence. As the Founder and Principal Consultant of Noble Risk Consulting, I partner with nonprofits, educational institutions, faith-based organizations, and small businesses to identify critical risks, enhance governance frameworks, and build sustainable operational strategies.

 

My background includes senior leadership experience within the financial services industry, where I led large-scale governance, regulatory reporting, and risk transformation initiatives that improved operational efficiency, strengthened compliance, and supported executive decision-making. I am also deeply committed to community impact and leadership development, serving on nonprofit boards and supporting initiatives focused on education, mentorship, and organizational sustainability.

 

I am passionate about helping mission-driven leaders protect what they’ve built, prepare for what’s next, and create long-term impact through strategic risk awareness and practical solutions.
