I am an accomplished compliance and regulatory affairs professional with over 10 years of experience navigating complex legislative frameworks and promoting institutional integrity across regulated sectors. Currently serving as the Director of Compliance and Regulatory Affairs for a national group of private career colleges, I oversee compliance operations across multiple jurisdictions, including Ontario and British Columbia, under the Ontario Career Colleges Act, 2005 and the Private Training Act.
My expertise includes the development and implementation of policies, internal controls, and audit programs that align with provincial regulatory requirements and risk management best practices. I apply the Three Lines of Defence model to ensure institutional resilience and lead a team of compliance professionals conducting regular audits, file reviews, and operational inspections.
My background also includes experience in financial aid administration, student dispute resolution, curriculum compliance, and institutional readiness for Ministry site visits and audits. I have successfully led regulatory submissions, managed high-stakes audits, and provided training to faculty and staff on compliance protocols and regulatory updates.
With a Master’s Degree in Business Administration, I bring a strong foundation in organizational management and strategic planning, paired with a detail-oriented, risk-aware approach to compliance leadership. I am passionate about protecting learners and upholding the standards that support public confidence in regulated education and professional environments.
