Crystal is an attorney by profession. However, recognizing that she wanted to expand her scope of experience, she left private practice and began her career in the financial services industry in 2010, after having obtained postgraduate certifications in Compliance and Anti-Money Laundering. With this achievement, she was afforded her first opportunity to work in the regulatory environment at the Securities Commission of The Bahamas.
Over the past 11 years, Crystal’s legal, regulatory and compliance experience has evolved. She previously served as Compliance Officer for a large law firm as well as Compliance Counsel at one the largest casinos in the Caribbean. While at the casino, she developed a keen interest for and expertise in gaming law and compliance. She presently heads the Gaming Board for The Bahamas’ Legal Department, in the capacity of Chief Counsel, which is a role that she defines as multi-faceted and exciting. She is also presently pursing a Master of Laws degree in Gaming Law and Regulations.
