What I'm looking for

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

I am an experienced compliance professional with a strong focus on enhanced due diligence (EDD) and anti-money laundering (AML) compliance. My expertise lies in client onboarding, PEP and sanctions screening, and document verification. I have successfully navigated the complexities of high-risk onboarding processes, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards while maintaining a keen eye for detail.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to conduct thorough risk assessments and compliance research in fast-paced environments. My role as a Due Diligence & CDD Researcher at FACT has allowed me to hone my skills in producing detailed risk reports and client profiles using advanced tools like Lexis Nexis and OSINT. Prior to this, I served as a Fraud Investigation Specialist at Amazon, where I led fraud investigations and received multiple employee awards for my consistent performance.
