Message

At M&T Bank, I lead the First Line of Defense Operational Risk RCSA program across Retail Banking processes. I assess control design and effectiveness, maintain Risk & Control Inventory documentation in Archer, and coordinate with business, Compliance, and Operational Risk partners.

As a Compliance Tester / Control & Risk Analyst, I played a key role in establishing the bank’s Regulatory Compliance Testing Program. I developed risk-based methodologies and standardized testing workpapers, then tested compliance across Retail Banking and Mortgage Lending, including Fair Lending and Regulations B, C, E, and F.

At Citibank, I managed operational risk remediation projects in global payment processing. I led initiatives with Operations and Technology to automate manual payment processes and implement Dual Blind Re-Key and Maker-Checker controls.
