What I'm looking for

I seek a compliance-focused role in safer gambling or customer support where I can lead teams, improve RG processes, and collaborate cross-functionally within a supportive, growth-oriented company.

I am a Responsible Gambling Team Leader with experience in customer support, KYC, AML collaboration and risk management, leading safer gambling teams to ensure regulatory compliance across UKGC and Ontario markets. I have driven process improvements, quality assurance, and team training while managing high-risk cases and escalations.

I previously worked as a Responsible Gaming Specialist and Customer Support Representative and have hospitality experience as a croupier and bartender, which strengthened my customer-service and communication skills. I use Jira for technical escalations and collaborate cross-functionally with AML, Fraud, Payments and Compliance to protect players and reduce risk.
