Her work includes analyzing financial records, identifying patterns of risk, evaluating compliance concerns, and collaborating with courts, attorneys, law enforcement, government agencies, financial institutions, and community partners.

Throughout her career, Karla has worked at the intersection of fraud prevention, investigations, compliance, and organizational leadership. Her experience spans banking, insurance investigations, regulatory oversight, healthcare compliance, public-sector program integrity, and executive operations. This diverse background allows her to approach fraud not only as an investigative challenge, but also as a human, organizational, and systemic issue.

She is recognized for transforming complex investigative concepts into practical strategies professionals can immediately apply.

An experienced conference speaker, Karla has presented at the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) Global Fraud Conference in Boston, the National Guardianship Association Conference, and the State Bar of New Mexico.
