What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and continuous improvement, with opportunities for professional growth.

I am a results-driven professional with extensive experience in quantitative analysis, regulatory compliance, and process improvement within financial crimes and AML frameworks. My expertise lies in leveraging data-driven methodologies to enhance decision-making, streamline operations, and support risk management objectives. I have a strong foundation in statistical analysis, scenario evaluation, and developing tools to monitor and optimize model performance.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led numerous process improvement initiatives, achieving significant operational efficiencies and cost savings. For instance, at USAA, I spearheaded the optimization of investigation workflows, resulting in a 48% reduction in alert handling times and generating $11MM in annual savings. My commitment to continuous improvement is reflected in my ability to establish strategic alliances with key internal teams, facilitating seamless integration of enhancements and reinforcing compliance with regulatory standards.
