What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values analytical skills and offers growth opportunities in compliance and risk management.

I am a compliance professional with over 5 years of experience in the financial services sector, specializing in regulatory compliance, risk management, and internal audit/control. My analytical skills have been honed through roles that required in-depth investigations and data analysis, particularly in anti-money laundering (AML) and Know-Your-Customer (KYC) procedures. I am passionate about fostering a culture of transparency and integrity within organizations.

In my current role as a Senior Specialist in AML Compliance at Western Union, I conduct enhanced customer due diligence investigations and analyze customer activities to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. My previous experiences include leading compliance investigations and developing risk assessment frameworks, which have equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of compliance regulations and best practices. I am eager to leverage my skills to contribute effectively to a forward-thinking organization.
