What I'm looking for

I seek a compliance role where I can lead investigations, improve detection rules, mentor teams, and contribute to robust AML programs in a collaborative, process-driven environment.

I am a seasoned anti-money laundering investigator with progressive experience across financial institutions and money services, focused on transaction monitoring, SAR filing, and complex cross-border investigations. I consistently lead productivity and quality improvements while mentoring junior analysts.

At MoneyGram I investigate money transfers, money orders, and cryptocurrency activity, manage US SAR filings for investigations spanning Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, and collaborate with alert/case generation teams to tune detection rules. I also assist law enforcement requests, deliver training, and led the U.S. Government Reporting department in productivity during 2023–2024, ranking in the top 10% of review scores.

Earlier roles at AML Rightsource refined my investigative, narrative-writing, and client-facing skills, supporting banks and global money service businesses with sanction screening, SAR preparation, and operational improvements. I am certified (CAMs) and proficient with industry tools, SQL, and advanced Excel, enabling effective analysis and process-driven results.
