What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role that blends operations, finance, and compliance—using transaction monitoring/AML expertise with strong reporting and cross-functional stakeholder communication, ideally in a remote-friendly digital environment.

I’m a versatile, highly analytical Operations & Finance professional with over 15 years of experience across banking, corporate outreach, and agriculture. I’ve built a track record in transaction monitoring, AML/KYC compliance, fraud detection, and financial reconciliation—always focused on accuracy, risk mitigation, and clear reporting.

In my current outreach coordination role, I spearhead corporate sponsorship initiatives and partner relationships to support growth, aligning deliverables with sponsor marketing and ESG objectives. Previously in banking, I managed end-to-end monitoring and daily reconciliation for high-volume accounts and streamlined dispute resolution through electronic channels—while leading teams of 28+ and optimizing complex processes. I also bring strong digital collaboration skills through Advanced Excel and Frontend Development (HTML/CSS/JS).
