I joined ePayAdvisors in 2024, bringing over 15 years of financial services experience that adds specific value to your payments audit or risk assessment:
- As a Corporate Treasury Senior Associate with Goldman Sachs, I managed daily ACH and Wire production work and collaborated with fraud, internal and external audit, and system testing teams.
- As a Payments Processing Analyst for a large credit union, I was responsible for tracking and ensuring compliance with changes to the Nacha Operating Rules and other regulations and handling exception situations for ACH, Checks, Wire, and Item Processing.
- As a Payments Processing Supervisor, I managed the team handling ACH, Wires, Item Processing and Check Processing, ensuring smooth day-to-day operations.

At ePayAdvisors my goal is to share my work experience and banking knowledge with institutions of all sizes as I provide world-class compliance and risk management services. My banking career began in 1996 processing paper checks. I joined a large national bank in Dallas in operations for multiple departments until I entered the ACH Operations world. I worked closely with organizations of all sizes to implement and test software changes and various transmission methods.
I later joined a local community bank processing wire transfers, wholesale lockbox, and ACH transactions. I utilized my experience and skills to help add new treasury products such as remote deposit, ACH fraud mitigation, positive pay, mobile deposit, and digital banking conversions. I created and managed a treasury management department servicing over 900 clients, including cybersecurity, regulatory exam, and fraud recovery support.
Together we can keep pace with the evolving speed of digital payments while maintaining compliance with governing rules and regulations!
