As a regulatory compliance attorney and consultant with an MBA degree from Warwick Business School (WBS), business certification from SDA Bocconi, and law degree from Ohio State University, I have a passion for exploring the intersection of decentralized ledger technology (DLT), finance, and responsible innovations balanced with reasonable consumer protections. I graduated with distinction and in the top 10% of my cohort, demonstrating my academic excellence and leadership skills. I have 17+ years of client and stakeholder advisory experience as a small business founder, owner, and attorney, consulting over 35 small business owners in mergers and acquisitions, due diligence, real estate finance, and succession planning.
