What I'm looking for

I am seeking an AML/compliance role focused on transactional monitoring, risk mitigation, and quality assurance with opportunities to lead investigations, mentor analysts, and advance into senior compliance roles.

I am an anti-money laundering compliance and transactional monitoring associate with three years of direct AML experience and five and a half years of post-undergraduate experience in finance and corporate banking.

At Deutsche Bank I analyzed international correspondent, corporate, and individual transactions to ensure regulatory compliance, identify threats and vulnerabilities, and recommend mitigation steps. I prepared reports, metrics, and research to support fraud initiatives and documented findings to support risk-based decision-making.

I was promoted to the offshore quality control team where I reviewed analysts' work for accuracy and risk mitigation, and I was elected to the training cohort to present case investigations to new hires. I hold an ACAMS (CTMA) certificate in anti-money laundering transactional analysis and presented investigation methods to stakeholders.

I hold an MBA with a concentration in finance and a BA in English and Communications, and I bring a disciplined, analytical approach to investigations, documentation, and team training to drive compliance and reduce financial and reputational risk.
