Bahamas
Message

At the Regulatory Enforcement Agency, Government of The Bahamas, I currently serve as Officer in Charge of the Prosecutions Unit. I prepare and review prosecution files, apply evidentiary standards, coordinate with legal counsel, and make independent enforcement decisions.

Across successive operational units, I’ve conducted risk-based file and documentation reviews, verified identities, and assessed information against regulatory requirements. My work includes investigating suspicious activity and preparing structured documentation for escalation.

I respond to FIU production orders, regulatory authority requests, and court orders, and maintain compliance records that support audit and regulatory standards. I apply Bahamian statutory instruments and guidelines, including those of the Central Bank, Securities Commission, and Insurance Commission.

As a CAMS-certified professional with the Canadian Securities Institute Chief Compliance Officer Certificate, I bring practical AML/CFT and KYC/CDD experience alongside graduate qualifications in finance and business administration. I’m also pursuing an LLB at the University of The Bahamas.
