Hi! I'm Liz, a dynamic C-level compliance professional differentiated by broad industry knowledge and compliance depth who is empowered by forward-thinking and solid judgment. A collaborative team leader with a demonstrated ability to develop and equip employees with the knowledge and skills necessary to seamlessly adapt to changes in the industry, policies and procedures, and operational processes. A strategic stakeholder with proven success in business development generating substantial growth and the ability to identify opportunities for improvement, collaborate on effective solutions, and drive results while maintaining a high level of ethics, integrity, and professionalism.
I entered the financial services industry fresh out of high school, 15 years ago, desperately looking for a "grown-up job". I didn't even know what a stock was! I quickly developed a need to learn more and was given an invaluable opportunity to develop a mentorship with the president of my company. I am fortunate to have been given vast guidance and knowledge from my leadership. Consistently demonstrating the ability and desire for advancement, I was progressively promoted through administrative and operational roles. This ability to learn throughout my tenure at that firm gave me the right circumstances to assume the role of Chief Compliance Officer.
I have an Associate of Arts in Business, Finance minor from Collin College, and am currently attending The University of North Texas to obtain a B.B.A. and M.S Dual Degrees program in Business Analytics. I have attended Executive-level education at Georgetown University and Harvard Business School.
In my personal life, my partner of 13 years and I have two courageous daughters. We enjoy spending our time with friends, traveling, attending hockey games (Dallas Stars, of course), being outdoors, and trying new experiences.
