About
16 years conducting investigations and managing threats with real consequences — now applying that experience to the platforms and organizations where safety happens at scale.
My background sits at the intersection of Trust & Safety's most critical functions: I've investigated stalking and harassment cases, handled fraud and financial misconduct, tracked online threats into real-world contexts, and responded to physical incidents requiring both immediate action and careful documentation. I understand that threats don't stay in one lane — online behavior becomes physical risk, financial misconduct intersects with identity fraud, and harassment patterns require both investigative rigor and victim-centered handling.
What I bring to Trust & Safety and corporate investigations work:
Conducting sensitive investigations end-to-end — from initial detection through evidence gathering, subject interviews, and defensible written findings
Identifying patterns across cases that signal systemic or coordinated behavior, not just isolated incidents
Translating complex investigative findings into clear narratives for legal, HR, policy, and leadership audiences
Pre-employment background screening and individual due diligence
Managing high-pressure escalations while keeping the focus on resolution and harm reduction
Building processes that make safety programs scalable, not personality-dependent
I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, which has been operationally useful in investigations, victim interviews, and cross-cultural threat assessment.
Interested in remote Trust & Safety, threat intelligence, account integrity, and corporate investigations roles where investigative depth and real-world threat experience are the asset — not a novelty
